"I'm in a position right now where I have plenty of free time, and my schedule is very flexible. As long as I'm available, I'm always happy to cover a coworker's shift if they're unable to make it. In the past, I've also volunteered to stay past my shift to help cover shifts that coworkers didn't show up for, and I'd almost always be available to do that at Pottery Barn as well."
