Having a versatile schedule is valuable as a retail employee, and sales associates at Petco 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 prepare 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 for someone who didn't show up, I would be more than happy to fill in. I want my coworkers and managers to see me as a willing and excited team player."
