Rude or entitled?

I was in line waiting to vote, and yes everyone expects to wait, the people in line where all very nice and patient, but I have one question that I am hoping someone could answer....

Everyone knows that one must be patient, one knows one must allow small things to occur while waiting.

It was approximately 7:45 Tuesday night when a crowd of people were standing in line waiting for their turn to vote, when in came this woman, who I assume the staff knew and rushed her to the front of the line.

Now, one person must have said something in the back, which I did not hear, but the other woman who worked there turned around and said "Yes, we discriminate."

Again, I know that some instances one must allow those things, but I did not see any reason this woman was sent to the front of the line. Was she sick? Was she disabled? By her appearance the only thing I could tell was that she was somewhat overweight. And believe me, that's not a reason to be singled out. 

But the young man who they butt in front of took it rather well, but I was hoping one of our wonderful individuals from Warminster could shed some light on this. For if there was not a good - and I mean good - reason for doing this then shame on you all for singling out someone and not being respectful to all the others.
