I'm just a teenager going in for my first job. CVS. Not high-class or career defining or anything.

Anything I should do/not do?
I KNOW that hid jaw will drop when I tell him I have 4200+ posts on ATOT! :D

Update: Job++

Just be honest in your answers, as long as you don't tell him "I like doing drugs in my spare time" and "I plan on dropping out of high school" you should be ok.

Crap, I shouldn't take my crackpipe then. I thought I'd have a great chance if I got him high before the interview.

Don't cross your arms or legs. Don't do nervous habits. Humor is okay as long as it is appropriate in nature and it is at an appropriate time. Eye contact is good. Be happy and have confidence. Use the washroom before the interview. Dress nicely. Make sure you don't smell. Maybe try to get some info on CVS to show that you are interested in their company. Have questions that also show your interest in working for them.

EDIT: Take pen and paper so you can write instructions, answers to your questions, or anything else you think is important. But don't write everything he says. Just another professional manerism to add to your image.

Ditto on the asking intelligent questions. Apart from clean clothes, eye contact, a good handshake and a shave and a haircut, that is the best thing you can do. Make sure that the majority of your questions are about how the company works, that way when you have to ask self-interested questions, they seem to blend in.

This is most likey a stockboy/cashier type of deal, but hey, being too professional can't hurt.
