Before I got Global Entry, I hated when CBP did this. Too often, those kiosks were for US citizens/residents only and ESTA holders were shoo-ed into the snail-pace "rest of the world" queue. US citizens/residents with no GE should be encouraged to queue in their special few lines, since they are just coming home so their immigration should be fairly streamlined.

Anyhow, while I am now in the "I'm alright, Jack" position with GE, it still annoyed me a lot at the time.
