Queue jumping

Whenever I take my husband to a concert or other big event I always queue jump because he can't stand for very long because of his disabilities. If there is a merch stand I just walk to the front of the stand and ask to be served first. It's rarely a problem. 
My husband asked me recently why I don't do that for him at other places - for example - we recently visited the SS Great Britain in Bristol and we had to queue for quite a long time as they were short staffed and one till wasn't working. My husband had to leave the building and find a seat outside while I waited and paid. He asked afterwards why I didn't just queue jump the same way I do at concerts and to be honest it's never occurred to me to do it elsewhere. Shops are a particular problem for him as there is nowhere for him to sit while queueing. 
We were in a large store last week when two carers pushed through with an autistic man and apologised as they went through as they said he wouldn't be able to wait in the queue and that was fine by me, there was no way on earth the young man would have been able to wait in line. 
Does anyone else queue jump? If we are really lucky someone will tell my husband to go in front of them but it very rarely happens, so do I just need to man up a bit and be more assertive?

I also struggle to stand waiting in those queues but don't usually queue jump. I know in Primark they do give priority for disabled people and they can just stand at the disabled till and someone will come and serve you. I wish they did the same in all shops.

I wouldn't dream of queue jumping, but i do let people go infront of me if i see them struggling, that sounds like a good idea @poppy123456
