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."

I am a very reliable person and do my best to be there when expected. If I commit to something, I see it through. It's difficult for everyone when others are unreliable.

Try replacing your final sentence with less of a 'lesson' for the interviewer and more of a direct response to the question at hand. I have offered a revision below.
"I am a very reliable person and do my best to be there when expected. If I commit to something, I see it through. For that reason, I had zero unexcused absences from work in the past year."
