"Why shouldn't punctuality be a moral yardstick? Promptness tells me someone is more likely to be professional, respectful, reliable and considerate in our association... Soon, the "I matter more" attitude [of habitual latecomers] betrays a cavalier attitude that is hard to ignore. Absent is the recognition that it's just as difficult for others to abandon what they're doing to honor commitments - but they do."

-Eve Glicksman in the San Francisico Examiner
