I may have job interviews at the following places. What should I wear to these interviews?
1. Old Navy
2. Purdy's Choclates
3. Shopper's Drug Mart
4. Lowblaws/Superstore
5. Save on Foods (a grocery store in western Canada similar to Loblaws)
6. Starbucks
7. Sears
8. The Bay
9. Winners/Home Sense
10. Home Outfitters
Should I wear khaki pants and a dress shirt? Or can I wear khaki pants and a long sleeved polo shirt?

How the heck did you get interviews at that many places? I've applied to 6/10 of those plus a tonne more since the start of May and have had one interview so far. I'm assuming you're assuming you got one?
Kakhi pants are fine with a collared shirt or dress. I think certain plain-ish sweaters work too like a slightly striped sweater or something you'd get at Tommy Hilfiger (the sweater not their shirts). And May's been cold thanks to chemtrails so might as well.

No I didn't get the interviews at most of those places yet. The only confirmed one is Purdy's chocolates (Saturday). I called the places I've applied to, and they said that they haven't looked at my application yet. The Starbucks manager told me that he'll call me for an interview on Monday (once his schedule gets sorted out), and Old Navy told me that the hiring manager is on holiday.
And remember, I live in British Columbia. Every Starbucks in the Vancouver suburb I live in is hiring. I heard the economy isn't as good in Ontario, so maybe thats why you don't have many interviews. But I do wish I were in Alberta so I could get more pay...
And also, I have/ already had some interviews with the university I go to, because my dad has many connnections. And there are even more places nearby my house that are hiring....I haven't even started sending resumes to those places!
In BC right now it is hot (off topic: I noticed that a few weeks ago it was cold in BC, and hot in Ontario...now its completely the opposite!), so I won't wear any sweaters.
