#2The headline is significantly linkbaity. Courier job applicant was told to arrive 5-10 mins early for interview, arrived 4 mins early and was unapologetically told to go to the next session in 30 mins.

I don't know where you are from, but 4 minutes early iisn't a 'late arrival'.

#4If I were a delivery company then I might decide that I didn't want to hire the people that merely show up on time, or even the people that show up a few minutes early. I want the people who go out of their way to show up a lot, lot earlier than they're expected to.
Even if that wasn't true, though, I suspect that I would not be interested in hiring the guy who didn't show up early the second time.

I took insult to the way I was treated after the fact, rather than the fact that I was locked out.

#7This reminds me of Van Halen and their "no brown M&M's clause"

To sum it up, Van Halen would put in their contracts that they are to be served M&M's with no brown ones present. If they found that there was indeed brown ones, they would not play because they felt the gig was not paying attention to detail.
Seems to me that if you are applying for a job that basically is all about time (delivery in 30 mins) then it is a great litmus test to not let people who are late to the orientation have a job. These people obviously did not care enough for the job interview- It stands to reason they likely wont care to be extra fast once/if hired.

Perhaps to crop and compress it for the web?

I didn't use the phrase "late arrival". I just pointed out that the OP arrived after he was told to arrive.

They weren't late, though? If they wanted people to show up 5-10 minutes early, make the training at 5:50 or 5:55. Don't say 6 and really mean earlier.
