Had anyone else experienced the boarding pass checker at the yvr domestic, the westjet side one which also happens to be the only domestic security open sometimes, tell priority passengers to get in the regular line?

It's happened several times now where we've approached the priority line only to right away be told to get in the regular line, without them even looking at our boarding passes.

The most egregious instance was when I (white woman) was allowed to walk straight into the priority queue, but my husband (shlubby Asian man) who was immediately behind me got told "that line is for nexus only" and redirected into the regular line. First of all, he has nexus, second of all it doesn't matter because PRIORITY SECURITY is printed right there on his boarding pass.

But it just keeps happening where we try to use that line, get shut down, and then have to argue our case ("just look at our boarding passes"). As a one off thing it's an odd experience and a story about the unconscious bias of the BP checker, but it just keeps happening that I almost assume YVR might have an internal memo or something to try and reduce the number of people using the priority line.

Like, am I doing something wrong? Or is this on YVR?
