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."

Technically 0, I had to stay off due to getting CV19 a 2nd time and I really didn't feel that unwell. I am definitely not the type that takes random sick days for a sniffle.
Marcie's Feedback
It's great that you're dependable and don't tend to take days off work unless you're truly sick. It's okay to mention that you do recognize the importance of a work/life balance, however, and say that occasionally you take pre-planned days off that have been approved by your manager. But emphasize that in general you come to work consistently, on time, and eager to work.
