Did you even bother to ask why they were late? What was the excuse?
What does it say about you that you instantly think they are a bad person because they were late for work. Give it a chill and see how the person works.
What the fuck is 15 mins in the scope of things unless you are just an asshole as an employer. If it happens repeatedly then sure that’s a problem but any number of things could cause someone to be late.
If the person just doesn’t give a fuck then sure, but if it was simply a mistake they showed up late then who fucking cares unless you are a drill sergeant who expects everyone to jump every time you walk in the door.
It could have easily taken longer to get to work than expected or traffic or any number of things. Being late 1 day doesn’t give any reflection on their character other than they are capable of making a mistake just like everyone else.
