I have always had a "it all comes out in the wash" sort of opinion on work times. Obviously, this has to work both ways. This isn't as easy to do in retail and in a lot of customer service industries. 90% of my job doesn't have a specific time that things need to be done at, and the other 10% could easily be done remotely if necessary. Even with that sort of flexibility, I'm still usually here at 8:00. Sometimes a few minutes before, sometimes a few minutes after.
If I'm in 5, 10, or 15 minutes late, I don't expect that my employer will nickel and dime me. That being said, there are times when I start lunch late (or not at all!), stay late, work from home to fix some sort of problem, etc.
