Another time I got off a flight and was walking to the Global Entry kiosk, an airline employee was at the front of the entrance into the immigration hall stopping passengers to check their passports/status to see which line to direct the into, I proceeded to walk around her since she was blocking the way into the global entry lane, I was pointing at the global entry sign and she said "ah ok you have that global thingy".
I have started taking the forms and filling them out in case the kiosks are down. You can go to the front of the line in that case in my limited (n=1) experience with kiosk problems.
