If 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.
