Most retail positions require a wide range of hours, including evenings, weekends, holidays, overtime, and split shifts. Assure the interviewer that you can commit to a wide range of hours. If there is anything in your schedule that may hinder your availability, be sure to address this.

"I am happy to work a flexible schedule and overtime as needed. I take an evening college course on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I would not be available those days after 5 PM."

The job description should have prepared you for the shifts you will be asked to work. Let the interviewer know you are aware of the need for a flexible schedule and that you can work any schedule they need. If you are a college student or have another outside obligation that will hinder you from working a specific day, let the interviewer know during your interview.
