Eventually someone just starts cutting in (creating a new "line", then merging) and it's a free for all.
Reminds me of a DYKWIA Jr. I encountered a few years ago at JFK boarding a p.s. flight for SFO. I'm in the group 1 line. They call group 1, and a kid (maybe 10 years old) and his mom get up from their seats, and the kid starts to walk towards the gate (as though he were going to cut the line). The mom says to him "Hey, honey, we have to get in line." The kid replies, "But we're group 1." The mom says, "all of these people are group 1." He looks at us incredulously and says, "
ALL of
THESE PEOPLE are group 1!?"
