Weed related job interview?

So yeah, I may have just found my ticket to every stoner's dream job. A vapor lounge close to my home is hiring, and I managed to score an interview. I've never worked in this type of environment before though - and I don't want to cock it up. Anyone work in one of these places? Tips and pointers would be helpful I guess.
I know the job is probably not as glorious as it seems - but fuck it beats working retail for minimum wage while my CEO gets a 10 million dollar bonus.

Think about it this way
You get a job interview at a phone retail chain because you know your gonna get free new phones and shit ... in the interview your not going to say "well I want to have the new phones before my friends do" 
Assuming your job is directly related to customer service or hospitality your gonna wanna make that employer feel your the best choice for his consumer type.so your job is to seem as best people person/problem solver as possible I'd say as well as someone who's not just there to get high

Be calm and cool, and dress clean. These people are usually of the more passive introverted type which means answer their questions and don't be too in their faces. vapor lounges are a place to relax and get away from the shitty world, they want people to facilitate that environment.
(my first job was 2 years at Vapor Hub in LA)

Haha, Yeah. I had an interview at a high end clothing store about a year back. I really only wanted the job because you get a massive discount on the merch - and you get free stuff. But I didn't say that was why I wanted the job. But yeah, it is hospitallity. I hadn't thought of that. derp.

You say dress clean, but could you expand? That was one thing that really worried me. I dunno if I should go the way I would for say a job at a bank (Suit tie, shoes) or not...
also ballin' first job.

I would go with- A nice pair of fitted slacks and a good dress shirt that fits well, no tie and a nice pair of shoes that matches well with everything else. Relatively plain but still nice. You could do the tie and it might work. Nothing really flashy, keep it organic.

I could be totally off though.

I would say a button up shirt is pushing the too formal thing, don't show up with stains on your shirt and ripped jeans and you'll be golden.
