Big numbers catch the eye
The island flyer's pitch is easy extermination jobs and 100 times the pay. It's not a record of payment; it's an invitation written on a flyer.
100 times. Your eye goes to that number first. Before thinking about what the job is, you'd probably start imagining the fun after getting paid.
“Easy” for whom?
It might be easy for someone experienced, but hard for a first-timer. Who did this flyer have in mind when it said “easy”?
In the movie, next to the group drawn in by the flyer, Rakko is suspicious. Even the same invitation is taken in different ways.
Is there enough information to choose?
Even if you're free to say no, it's hard to choose if you don't know the dangers. To choose a job, you need not only options but also information to compare them.
Before writing someone off as careless for believing the flyer, try thinking about why it was so tempting. Then it starts to look like an invitation you might fall for, too.
