line cutter
Skips the wait
A line cutter is someone who pushes ahead of others waiting their turn in a queue: Hey, no line cutters!
The term carries strong disapproval—cutting in line violates a basic social contract.
Children learn early that line cutters are cheaters.
In British English, the equivalent is queue jumper.
