queue-jumpers
Those who skip
Queue-jumpers are people who cut in line, moving ahead of others who have been waiting longer.
The term is primarily British, matching the British preference for queue over line.
It extends beyond physical lines to anyone who bypasses established order: Queue-jumpers at the passport office caused a scene.
The practice is considered a serious breach of social etiquette in British culture.
