Having a versatile schedule is valuable as a retail employee, and associates at PetSmart must be adaptable and flexible. Assure the interviewer that you are a team player and are happy to step in if a shift needs to be covered at the last second.

"I know that my coworkers and managers rely on every team-member to show up for their shifts on time and prepared to work -- if one person doesn't show up for their shift, that means everyone else has to work harder. If my manager needed me to come in at the last minute to cover a shift, I would be more than happy to fill in. I want my coworkers and managers to see me as a team player!"
