About queue jumping

So my partner and I were checking in to a hotel today. There were two staff helping 2 groups of people to check in. We were next and had already been waiting a while when four more people came in and joined those at the front. Fine, we assumed they were all checking in as a group. The person checking in paid for two rooms and they were signing paperwork. The second member of staff became free and one of the men who came in after us went to them. I said that we were next, he said they were there first (they weren't). I let him go first rather than make a drama but aibu to think he should have joined the queue at the back as he was paying separately /not a joint booking. Partner thinks I am technically right but that mates save each other spaces and I should have sucked it up.

YABU - people save spaces suck it up and wait

YANBU - He should have waited his turn

He was a queue jumper however it may have been easier to have said something when he tried to join

Just a friendly ‘Excuse me however we are next unless you are all checking in together?’

That way it may have made it more obvious that you weren’t willing to let them jump the queue. Easy enough to say this now although I know it isn’t easy to always judge at the time 🙂
