      What You Should Say

      If you are running late, it impacts your co-workers because someone has to cover until you get there. Even if the reason you are late is not your fault, you should apologize for running late for your scheduled shift."

      Answer Example

      "My parents instilled in me a sense of responsibility when I was young. When I have appointments, I give myself enough time so that I'm not late.

      If I were going to be late to work, I would call the store and speak to the manager on duty. First, I would apologize for being late and explain the reason. Then, I'd make sure I wasn't late again."
