    It really depends on the specific situation... My partner is in a wheelchair, as well as a couple of friends of mine, and to the best of my knowledge, none have ever cut into a lineup just because they had a disability. It it were something like a bathroom lineup, however, this could be because certain physical conditions add a greater urgency to the situation, in which case it may be justified. I'm sure there may be other situations as well. I know that at my bank branch, most of the tellers' counters are at around chest height, but there's one designed for people to be at seating level. There's only one general lineup for all of them though, and I've watched people near the front of the line encourage someone elderly, or in a wheelchair, etc who is further back in line to go ahead. If the accessible booth is free, the logic is that the person who needs it should go use it, rather than someone who doesn't need it tying it up for what may be long business that could be done with one of the many standing tellers... Anyway, those are just a couple of examples. If there's no real reason for it, though, I believe it would probably be inappropriate (and my partner has just agreed with me).
