In Guatemala there is a bad habit of being very imputual and in fact it is not considered as disrespectful but almost as a "custom"
Explanation:
Punctuality becomes relevant when it comes to young entrepreneurs. They usually drag the habit of not respecting the times or simply not keeping an agenda.
In Guatemala, the bad habit of unpunctuality has led to the coining of the term “ahora chapina” (In English it would mean: I'm coming but don't hurry I do it in my time
). In most places it is considered as a cause of shame to use it as a pretext in the business and work environment.
Developing punctuality is a matter of discipline. But a discipline not derived from fear of demands, but from an attitude of respect towards other people.
