The cutting in line part, I don't have a problem with that since I've been to countries like Korea, Japan and other asian countries were cutting line is a norm...
An example of my experience, I was at the Medical commission, the individual who maintains the line is picking people who look like a westerner and letting them go ahead of the line.. I know they are westerner because I'm with them.. since I want to stay with my group, I raised my passport.. As soon as he saw my passport, he was apologetic and put me back with my group..
