It's only a choice when viewed from an ivory tower. If you have to make ends meet on fast food wages you're not gonna take a massive pay cut in exchange for slightly more autonomy.

Also, the customer interaction side of things is about the same in both jobs and in fast food you'll have to do less bending over backward for customers.
