Proper planning will get you far, but sometimes life happens, and you'll need a plan B. Think about some of the variables in your life that could affect your ability to arrive on time for work. Sick children, traffic, car breakdowns... the list goes on. It may not be possible for everything to work out so smoothly, getting your shift covered or still making it to work on time. Your interviewer is looking to see that you are proactive and that you can handle the stress of unexpected situations that can arise.

"I stay calm and composed when issues arise. Just last week, I was in a car accident while commuting to work. I called my boss immediately to let her know that I was going to be late. This call gave her time to move my work volume to other employees so that our clients were not left hanging for call-backs and quotes."

"I hope never to be late! When I started working at a restaurant at sixteen years old, we were taught the adage of "if you're on time, you're late," so I've worked to implement that into my life. I always try to arrive 15 minutes early, but there are unforeseen circumstances that can arise. I handle surprises using common sense and keeping courtesy to others top of mind."
