Un Monde 5 Étoiles (2023)
After delivery of a parcel, on leaving a restaurant, hotel or train, or following an exchange with the customer service department of your telephone operator, the same request: to rate.

But behind this harmless gesture lies a brutal management system, operated directly by the customer, without their knowledge.
