Sorry but i disagree, i was in the SC in Bur Dubai a few months ago and a local pushed in front of me.

I politely put my hand on his shoulder and when he turned around i pointed out that there is a que and that is what civilised people do when waiting..

He apologised.

I accepted

he moved behind me.

MacScot, its your attitude that just fuels emirati's ignorance and arrogance...

I agree...if you let people get away with it, they will....no matter what nationality they are...
The other week, we were at McDonalds...(yeah) and a local guy just passed the queu and started ordering....my 15 year old son got out of the line, walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder and pointed to the end of the line...and there he went...like a sheep...I was a proud mum...lol
