> I had no idea, I've just been living my life thinking the world is just and we all wait in the same line.

The lines were not obvious, or there were simply fewer segmentations, when I was a kid.

Now, you see it at the airport with 3 different levels (regular TSA/precheck/clear), based on how much you pay.

You see it at theme parks like Disney world / six flags, and even there, there are multiple levels of priority you can buy.

And I went to my county fair for the first time this year, and I was somehow surprised that you could pay more for skipping ahead on simple carnival rides, even for toddlers.
