It's an analogy. The soft pastel colors represent the idealistic world that has been created thanks to the ratings emulating a perfect society.

[@MerlinTheCommenter]

Guys, it’s pretty obvious this is the one customer she did that to since her rank must be high for that kind of job. All the other people were group-ranking her like it’s Reddit so that’s how you get that scenario. And the reason why she didn’t get the supervisor was because she knew she could just have the woman removed instead. Makes it easier than admitting she was wrong.

[@Joe_Parmesan]

I loved seeing the authentic Lacie. That version of her character has been one of my favorites in the whole series

[@rosegoldhiips]

As a customer service worker myself, it really wasn't. She was acting entitled and holier-than-thou from the second the receptionist said her flight was canceled. The receptionist could have probably been nicer and more helpful but entitled people like that often won't soften up no matter what you do to try to help them. I think she kind of deserved all those bad ratings 😕

[@Tony-ge2jr]

@@rosegoldhiips she already book the flight weeks in advance, and had her flights cancel for no reason. Its normal for her to be mad, the receptionist should have called to her supervisor to help Lacie getting a new flight, instead of being a big mouthed pos. You should know your place, your only job literally is to service customer, if you can't do that then quit before you piss another customer

[@cHeStEr5434]

@@rosegoldhiips Excuse me, but if you knew anything about working in hospitality, you'd know that a cancelled flight is a very serious issue and needs to be addressed, and it's the airline's responsibility to rectify said issue in the form of offering an alternative. You don't just reserve that option for elites. So in this situation, they really should have offered Lacie the seat on the next flight regardless of her rating as a means of compensation, or at least contacted her prior to the check-in time to let her know that there were problems so she could have sufficient time to make a backup plan. The attendant should've at least tried to help or refer Lacie to someone who could, but she did nothing, not even allow Lacie to speak to a manager (which Lacie had every reason and right to). So yeah, I don't blame Lacie for getting angry at this point (or as you see it; "entitled and holier-than-thou"). You'd do the same, I guarantee it!

I think there has to be a reason for the vote. If strangers start giving each other 5 stars, it could break the system for themselves and others : - Who rates you and who you rate has to be detailed on your profile, therefore you can be downgraded if you vote for someonewith a bad rate or who is even remotely related to someone who has a bad rate (since we sac earlier in the movie that those who dive in the rates are ditched by the ones with upper rates) - you can accidentally vote for someone who has completely opposite tastes as yours (even if there doesn't seem to be much room for differences of tastes in this universe anyway) and ruin the credibility of a social profile you have worked on all your life - and the simple fact that even if you explained why you did it, it's showing empathy, and it's made clear that empathy is tacitely forbidden in this universe, appearances matter more.

Also the fact that sympathy and empathy have been replaced with a very exclusive rating system. Doesn't matter who you are, if you have a bad rating you're SOL

[@BoxxyFan]

A society like this would function very different from whats shown in this episode. There would be safety measures in place to stop one from having a low ranking so quickly and ruining their life in a day, otherwise everybody would be ruinijg their lives in a day. Maybe they would have ranking insurance etc. Also this system is very similar to religion in our world. Its fake and not real, but it keeps people behaving properly and being good (because they believe they will go to heaven which is not true there is no afterlife.).

MasterIrukaPlays If you think he's awesome, you're missing the point of the episode. the airport doesn't notify the women that the flight has been cancelled beforehand, and doesn't offer anything other than a sorry, go fuck yourself, in polite pretense when the customer's flight has been cancelled last minute. that lady is going to miss a wedding she is the maid of honor for. Not only this, but they won't give her a seat on another flight, even though in real life, this would be expected of the airport staff. The airport staff member is being unreasonably pretentious and hostile to the point in which the lady cannot keep up the act anymore and starts to get reasonably frustrated, but because everyone in this dystopian society is fake, her expression of frustration offends them and they rate her down for being honest. The security officer marks her down for intimidation and profanity, even though the flight attendant refused to allow the woman to speak to a supervisor. Which means she doesn't even have the correct rating to get home in a proper car. So basically in other words, the woman booked a flight and got scammed out of her flight. In real life, such disgraceful behavior from a company or a member of customer service would result in a lawsuit. But in this episode, because of the dystopian setting, bureaucracy prevails over pragmatism and shows that human beings in this society are too narcissistic and pretentious to help one another. Her flight could have been fixed, if rating was simply rounded up in emergency situations, but in this episode, people rate eachother down out of spite, and rate each other up for pretentious reasons. The security guard isn't awesome, he is a physical extension of the dystopian setting this episode was based on.

@@joeburreaux7953 lol where's the proof that that's the reason you were rejected? I HIGHLY doubt it. More like your social media showed non-catfish pictures of what you really look like and they didn't measure up to your curated dating profile pictures, OR they spotted some other red flag (no mutual friends so they didn't feel safe meeting up with you, lack of basic info to confirm age, job, etc). One of the two. Sorry bud but in real life people dont care as much about this shit. This isn't anywhere near a black mirror episode.

The way people in the queue are taking the authoritarians side and sneering at her, never able to see how they could be in her place one day. Two years ago I wouldn't have believed it. Now it's Feb 2022, post Covid and the way I have seen people treat others, even fellow family members, I certainly can believe it, in fact I would expect it. People worry about us ending up in some dystopian world without realising we are already in it.

One thing concerns me. When Lacie is at the desk she is 4.183. When she swears the three people behind rank her down. However when security docks her one full ranking point she becomes 3.183. So it means that the three people did not have any effect. Any thoughts on this?

[@JackLivesTogether]

I know you posted this two months ago but I'd like to throw my two cents in. I'm curious that perhaps as a rating system there are probably different ranks of 'civilians' ranking? Businesses and authorities rating might weigh more then other people's?

[@emilyhayes5699]

Stephen Banks lol this was posted ages ago but it kind of reminds of how police and security are in this world. They are automatically higher than everyone else with police brutality and the little punishments they get. Sentences are much higher for assaulting an officer compared to assaulting another person. It kinda reflects how much power they have.

[@MsAdventurebunny]

That was the whole point for security though... I’m guessing in their world any physical/verbal aggression is highly frowned upon so they just hit you where it hurt - your status (for control)
