Does it take more gas to start your car than to leave it running for 30 seconds?

When we would stop at a gas station or somewhere where my dad would only be a minute in the store, he would always just leave the car running. He said it was because it takes more gas to start a car back up than to just leave it running for a minute. Is this true and does either effect the life of your car? Thanks for any responses!
