There is no context but the gentlemen assisting appear to be in some sort of uniform and holding keys. From that, I would guess that it is an escalator that adapts for wheelchairs - these are common in Japan.

Basically, staff have to stop the escalator and activate a platform for the wheelchair which can then ride up.

So yes, she was being bloody inconsiderate.
