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 very committed to my employer and am only absent in events of sickness or the odd family emergency. I do my best always to be available and present when expected."

I was absent for 20 days as a part-time employee in my prior job. I recognize this is not acceptable, but I did not like the work environment because it was toxic. I will do better to communicate in this role if I am offered. On a good note, I am a punctual employee, you can rely on me to be on time.

Rachelle's Feedback
I think we should unpack this answer a bit further since you'll want to avoid making the impression that this situation could happen again. I've left a recommendation below.
"I am a punctual employee who can be relied on to arrive on time and when expected. I missed more days than I should have with my most recent job; however, the work environment was toxic, causing me undue stress. I am excited to be interviewing for a role in which I will be excited to come to work."
