The story, as told by Matt in an email:
I was 10 minutes early for the interview. The first hurdle was security. They went through everything, took my keys and cellphone off of me, and even made me
drink some of my water. Then I went into the next room which was like a fortified ticket booth. There must have been 10 or so windows, and there was a long line of chairs in the middle of the room. So it was like…
….*……*……*……* (* = window)
CCCCCCCCCCCCCC (Chairs)
…………………………. (Wall)
The guard told me to take a seat, and you just wait for your name to be called out over the loud speaker. After a short wait my name was called, and I wandered up to the booth. The lady was so nice. The first thing she said was that I should calm down because there is absolutely no problem, and that since I have never been arrested, married, or overstayed it was perfectly fine.

My interview at US Consulate in Auckland, New Zealand was a very pleasant experience. It was all complete within 20 minutes. The staff at the Consulate were helpful and very friendly.

Well now that I'm pretty much done with the NZ consulate now, I'm probably qualified to vote here  .
I said "above average" because my experience AT the consulate (i.e. the interview appointment), as well as receiving forms and the visa in a timely manner were exceptionally good.

The 0900 number is horrible, depending on who you're unlucky enough to talk to - most people don't really seem to know how to answer your questions properly. It also costs a lot and 99% of the time they put you on hold for a few minutes before someone will pick up.
