As for interview just take it naturally. If you be someone you are not in interviews then it just going to cause trouble in the job.

If you're going to work in a greasy spoon and don't already shower every day you will need to VERY soon.
My boss doesn't shower every day and it's fuckin disgusting, I can smell him from a few feet away. Needless to say our business isn't doing well- I'm surprised I still have a job after 2 years of our store struggling. (There's other reasons for the business doing poorly too, but being able to smell your server from across the counter definitely isn't helping.)
I haven't seen any evidence to back up this claim, seems like it took off after it appeared on cracked. Haven't noticed my skin being less protective after taking a shower.
By the way, don't do the opposite and dump a bottle of cologne on yourself before the interview. In fact, don't wear any amount of cologne, because while your girlfriend might like how it smells, your future manager may hate it, even if they only pick up on it subconsciously, and it's general policy in most workplaces to not wear any scents. You'll be burger scented by the end of the day anyways.
Maintain eye contact but not to the point of creepy unblinking staring.
Don't wear a tie, wear a decent collared shirt though. I've swung by all my interviews in nice jeans but most of the places that hired me didn't really care about anything so *shrug*
Don't make up a bunch of bullshit, but don't sound apathetic. Be straightforward- if you want the job so you can have some spare money while you do school full time, say so. Don't ramble, if the interviewer wants your life story they'll ask for it, and always answer questions directly. If they ask you anything about working with others or customer satisfaction the answer always is you loooove people.
Edit: Also, brush your teeth (and your tongue, 'cause that's where most bad breath comes from).
