What not to do on a job interview - week 3

With the current job market, many people will be searching for new jobs. To help out, I thought I would take one day each week for 5 weeks and give you my "Top 5 things not to do on a job interview". We are in week number 3. These are things that have actually happened during one of the job interviews I have conducted. If you are interviewing for a new job, please do not do these things.

3) Bring multiple shopping bags to the interview - Nothing says that this job interview is important to you less then bringing shopping bags to your job interview that is held in a shopping mall. This has actually happened on several of the interviews I have conducted. It is like saying "I was just shopping in the mall and about to head home, but I thought I would run over here first and see if I can get a job. If I don't get the job, I at least have this nice, new pair of boots". From my recollection, none of these people got the job.
