When your child says they need to use the restroom every 5 minutes when you're out, do you let them?

My daughter is 2.5 and we're potty training, so i know what it's like. If i took her once and she went, then i would tell her "you just went" and dismiss the request, if it had only been 5 minutes since she went last. Now if she asks me again in maybe 15 mins, then i might, just to be safe, but i would try to dismiss all those "extra" requests. I would just use my better judgement. I can pretty much tell when she's just bored or just talking to talk, and then i can steer her away from talking about the potty when she doesn't really need to use it.
