The original queue was a long, gender-integrated one. They opened a new queue and ushered a few of us into it, mostly men but iirc not all, and botched the process by ignoring who was selected, regardless of urgency etc. They were dismissive of my wife when she attempted to communicate - I know what that is - and they corralled her back into her original spot when she attempted to follow. They also ignored my requests, but it was more than that with my wife, who is a seasoned traveller and not anyone to flaunt DYKWIA or the like.
Not a huge deal, and I'll drink a San Miguel to many of the airport's personnel. But this incident was what we call a "cluster" - er, never mind.
Salamat for the reply.

However, I don't see why they couldn't accommodate that request, especially given that your flight was coming up. In any scenario though, your wife should have just asked the people in front if she could cut the line because you were rushing to get to your gate.
