Depends on the business?
A teacher, quite a bit. A bus driver, a lot.
Working retail, depends on if they’re the only one working there.
Random office drone, not much.
That's the nuance I was fishing for: There seems to be a blanket expectation that everyone everywhere need to be at work at the a specific time, usually set by the business owners rather than the employees themselves.
In that case, I don't think being 10 minutes "late" is an issue, with exceptions (like fixed appointments) and limits (some shared time frame where colleagues can expect to reach each other or plan meetings in).
Some degree of flexibility with working times should be the standard, where practical. Anything with strict schedules where tardiness screws over others, I'm fully on board with expecting punctuality.
