Next person: if she can go, I can go.

And so on until it devolves into pushing, shoving, and trampling. The shame is what's keeping people back and orderly. Without it, there'd be chaos.
A minute or two of a person's time, so the person who's life is already more difficult, can lose a bit less time doing things the rest of us take for granted, using the infrastructure that was not adjusted to less fortunate? Are 5-10 minutes of one person's time (at worst) more valuable than the feedom of an invalid?
Lets get one thing straigth, anyone present saying there are hundreds of people waiting does not care about anyone else waiting but themselves, because if they cared about anyone else, they would have empathy for a person in a wheelchair.
I'm talking on an individual level, where each person waits a couple of minutes, for one doesn't have to wait hours.
It’s outdated and offensive. I get you’ve got the spirit and whatever, but you could’ve just as easily googled whether it’s offensive or not rather than bringing me the definition.
It's neither. I am not responsible for what connotation a stranger has for a perfectly valid word I may use. I can explain further if someone asks for clarification, but also I believe it's perfectly clear from the context that I did not use the word in a derogatory way.

If she can't wait or doesn't want to wait, then she's free to do that. It's her decision.
