    Suit and tie.

    Show them you really want the job. First impressions.

    No such thing as over dressed, but you can be under dressed.

    Suit if you have one.

    If its a retail job I'd say shirt and tie. Looking like the prospective ambassador to France is a bit much, the employer might rightfully think you're only there because you can't find anything else.

    Is the OP not female? Women have it slightly easier here - men are either in a suit or not, but there's a bit more flexibility for women IMO. Smart casual would be fine.

    I always always advise a suit, and I've worked for a company that had NO dress code (and I mean NO dress code)... prospective employees still gave a good impression if they showed they took it seriously.

    I'd guess that no matter how much physical work is involved if you are working front of house then a suit is adviseable.
    If working in the background, in a warehouse etc and not in contact with the visiting public then a little more casual may be allowed.
    In certain jobs requiring a large physical input, especially lower end jobs such as dishwashers etc.. a suit may be overdoing it and give the impression that the person will not "muck in and get the work done" so it depends.
