Going back into the lounge - do you jump the queue?!

January CCR incident: forgot phone in one of the cabanas and realized whilst I was still by Elemis desk when lady handed me form to fill in. So quickly dashed back in and found the phone,as I was walking out of the cabana I was greeted by a very unfriendly face and dragon shouts "Did you just run past me" my response was "I had just left the CCR room and realized that I had forgot my phone so I came through to collect it".
Context was, she was chatting away with her colleague when I walked out initially and ran through,within a minute. I'm no Usain Bolt, so maybe I should use the word 'jog' or "hastened pace".
So she then shouts "You can't just run past me!"
So I let the lady know that I had just walked out and that if she was doing her job properly she should have noticed me walking out and then re-entering the lounge in a "hastened pace". Tempers flared and useless supervisor got involved.

Moral of the story, don't forget your phone and unless like the others here the dragon has noticed you, play it safe and show boarding pass.

Aside: last weekend I was fortunate enough to use the CCR again and after I left on a Boots pharmarcy run and came back into the lounge. The very attentive dragon stopped her colleague from asking to see boarding pass and obviously I had to tell the ladies of my Feb experience. They both in agreement with me, questioned why the Feb dragon didn't simply just ask to see my boarding pass and left the drama aside.
