A part of being a diligent employee is to ensure that you are always on time and present when expected. It's great to even be 10 minutes early rather than just showing up right on the dot. Talk to the interviewer about your attendance.

"I had zero unexcused absences last year. In total, I took 12 vacation days out of my 15 allotted days. I was sick just 2, and a note from my Doctor accompanied those. Once I was late due to a terrible snow storm, and I always try to be 10 minutes early for my shift."

To me, missing work or being late is unacceptable. I am always 15 mins early; if you are on time at work, you are late. The only exceptions are if the doctor says you can't work, then you have to listen to him/her with a doctors note.
Other than that, I don't miss work. So the days I missed last year was four due to the flu bug that was going around.
Lauren's Feedback
This is great because you are demonstrating your work style and commitment to your work. I suggest changing the sentence ordering, so that your response is first.
Last year, I only missed four days of work due to the flu bug. I am always 15 minutes early to work every day; I feel that arriving right on time should be considered late. I pride myself on a strong work ethic, and like to represent my company as best I can.
