the courtesy is implied so asking for your spot in the line takes the whole gesture of holding the door open away imo.
If I hold the door open for you...

Sometimes when I have a group of fit young people just behind me, I'll use the following "cheat": I'll hold the door open but from the inside, securing my priority in line. It's a maneuver that benefits from my having long arms.
For older or impaired folks, I'll take a more dignified station outside/behind.
Impaired can mean hands full with bags or a youngster. Or a bag of youngsters, heh. cn

When I hold the door for you, hurry the fuck up and get inside. Don't take your sweet ass time.

The real question is, did you make them pay a toll?

We have those also here in the 'Stan. Their adaptation to a certain sort of favor is more than offset by their distinct likeness to a bucket of boiled toads. cn

but some times there is a guy right behind the girl and that awkward moment when you realize shutting it would be an insult.

I always hold the door for people too, and say thank you, sir when they do the same for me (thank you, precious, if it's a woman). I have to agree though, about the sammich. It's a tough call when I am hungry and I know I am making myself wait.
Always, always, do I allow people with small children to go ahead of me. That is a courtesy to all.
