Queuing with the commoners

My family and I had a good experience standing in a long queue to collect the newly introduced Smart National ID Card from a school premise in the Dhaka cantonment area. This included my 82 year-old mother-in-law. However, while we stood like law abiding citizens, we witnessed a good number of people taking shortcuts to the booths right under the eyes of the security stationed at the venue. They were VIPs. We had to wait for about two hours, but felt the satisfaction of having done the right thing. 

When will we come out of his culture of VIPs and IPs? What do we lose if we stand in a queue with the common people?
