I have noticed this behavior unfortunately. I can understand that being the native of the country you should get some privileges but it is frankly taken for granted.
I was arguing with an expatriate friend of mine the other day and my point and solution is simply "until when will you remain quite" if you see somebody acting so please ask him politely to move back the line but please do not insist if you are afraid that a problem would occur, maybe he wont listen this time but for sure he will be embarrassed and the next time he will think twice. I for one am not afraid to escalate the matter but then again unfortunately I confess that I have the privilege of being a GCC national.
By the way with all due respect to all Qatari’s out there, if you notice I haven’t mentioned Qatari’s but I mean all those who cut the line what ever background, status, gender or wealth.
another thing I noticed here is not just being a Qatari, simply where a thoub gets things done easily and again who is to blame, YOU the complainer because the expatriates here treat those people differently, in other words, the day I wear a thoub I treated differently by the expatriate serving me for no extra reason. I didn’t show up with an angry look, I dint scold anybody and dint treat them bad, simply because I was wearing a thoub I get top of the line treatment from both locals and expatriates, so you expect people not to take advantage of it.
Sorry for the long speech but I hope the message is clear.
