Boss yells at me for being late even though I was on time

For background, I work for a small plumbing company thats about a 30-40 minute commute from where I live. Work starts at 7:30 and I show up usually 5 minutes before then. Sometimes due to traffic, I’ll arrive at 7:32 latest and I’ll text my boss telling him whats going on and he still yells at me for being late. Today, I walked in the door at exactly 7:30 and he yelled at me and said “where the hell were you, you’re late again” to that I responded with “no im not I’m on time its 7:30” and he told me to “drop my attitude you’re still late”. I can understand if I was like 15-30 minutes late every day. Mind you, there were three other employees that walked in after me after 7:35 and none of them got reprimanded at all. Does he just not like me or something?…

Does he just not like me or something? Is he just a dick? My company’s hand book does not specify tardiness and only cites that excessive tardiness and absences will result in termination.

(Im not exactly anti work, I just thought this was the appropriate subreddit for this post)
