Welcome to the world of graphic design!
If they can't keep to their schedule you are better off not being with a company like that. If they were willing to cut you off at the last hour like that they are probably not a well run company. This is a horrible thing to do to someone. You probably had to give your entire day up and you obviously like the company enough to give up your day.Sucks. This has happened to me before.

you could name and shame... right here...
.... errr, would that be ...uh.... unprofessional?!?
74LEO's right, this happens, get used to it, but now it's good to know they're not likely to be good place to work anyway....
Freelancers have to deal with this all the time.... and not take it personally.... if the prospect pipeline's full, you just go on the the next possible client....

I don't think there's anything wrong with you ordering 2 XL pizzas to their office and paying for them yourself, but ordering like quadruple anchovies and that's it. They'll be excited for free pizza, but then pissed off that it's gonna taste like dead feet.

You were good enough to invite to another interview, so that's good.
For all you know someone's nephew got the job. Don't take it personally.

That's agencies for you. Your time does not matter, only theirs. Bow down to your corporate lords.

That is extremely poor organisation. It would have been a nightmare working there.
Name and shame!
