I gotcha so far.
My real point was that if that keeps you from taking a job with me, great. I don't interview people in the way that's ideal to them, I never have, and never will. I interview as it is convenient for me. If someone wants money from my employer, believe you me I will make the interview the most difficult day of work with me they'll ever have.
I don't want to hire some lazy or cheap butthole who can't spend a few dollars or a little extra energy to meet a deadline. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's just the way I work. I won't normally make an employee spend $2 daily to get to work on time, but I'll see if they're willing to before I agree to work with them given the opportunity.
It remains that you were not yet employed by the person who asked you to make it there at 8. If you want the job, you'll make it there when it's convenient for them.
To put it really simple: If you want me to bend over backwards to hire you, sorry, I have 46 other applicants to interview.
I'm only arguing this from the POV of Hiring Dave, not Nice Dave, the Dave who usually posts here. When I'm hiring I see no reason to go too far being nice. People will see that side of me after they're hired, if they are.
