I think you were unlucky this time but that doesn't give you the right to be a DYKWIA. I think you should have begged the people in line (not just the first one) to jump the queue, with a bunch of mea culpas about your phone and the kiosk not working and time being short, and then it's up to them whether they indulge you.
