I was a Caviar courier in a past life, it paid very well for someone with just a bike ($20-$25/hr before taxes).

That courier was full of shit. You get paid regardless of customer status, and you also get paid per minute over a certain delay threshold. Sounds like you just got a bad actor.

I mean, that's basically what he said but that it had been an hour and a half (IIRC) and he said Courier would stop paying him to wait.

I've never been a courier so I wouldn't know.
