The two issues there are the people who don’t let anybody in and the people who attempt to “merge” by stopping near the gas station and waiting until they’re let in while there is a ton of lane ahead of them, screwing everybody behind them.

It isnt a zipper scenario if the lane you are in exits rather than disappears.
If you delay the exiting traffic’s behind you like in the crowchild southbound to memorial type situation you are a failure and should feel shame. If both lanes are moving and you can just merge in the gap there is no problem. If one lane has stopped cars and you are bypassing that line by using an exit lane and then stop in the exit lane to get into the though lane you are decreasing throughput of the road.
