NHS workers getting to the front of the queue

Queuing for B&Q yesterday, about a 30 min queue. Lovely weather so nice to be out in the sun.
As I was at the front of the queue someone came up, asked if NHS could go straight in, guy said yes, and in they went.
I think it’s bloomin’ cheeky to go to the front of a queue just because you work for the NHS. There, I’ve said it. I’d never do it and think people who do are taking the p. There are plenty of discounts, offers, special hours and general public adoration being directed at the NHS. And it is deserved. But I think it takes a certain person to saunter to the front of the queue, and think it’s highly unfair on others. Especially as so many are working still, and don’t get this ‘perk’.
It really annoyed me.

Sorry posted too early...That's What my friend just said to me... If I wasn't a nurse she wouldn't have said that

Yeah I work for the NHS and I think it's cheeky, I can't do it myself so I go to M&S, where I don't have to queue.

Most of the people jumping the queue don't even work on the frontline, I know PLENTY.
