Retail workers are like anyone else - they get sick and have family emergencies. Some might simply be unreliable. At AutoZone, you will likely encounter a situation where a coworker does not come for their shift. In this situation, you can only control your actions. The interviewer wants to know what you would do if presented with this situation.

Assure the interviewer that you are a team player. Demonstrate your willingness to go above and beyond for your company.

"I'm always happy to pick up extra shifts for any reason, especially if it means helping my managers and coworkers out of a bind when someone doesn't show up for their assigned shift. Being a team player is important to me, and I want to do what I can to make my coworkers' jobs easier."

"I have a very flexible schedule at the moment, so I'm almost always available to pick up extra shifts if needed. In my experience, showing my coworkers that I'm loyal to my team creates an atmosphere of mutual care and support that I need from my place of work. Anything I can do to show my coworkers that I care about our store is an important opportunity to build camaraderie and make our team stronger."
