None of what you describe is slave labour.

There are people in actual slavery all over the world and there is a world of difference between having a crap job or getting screwed out of money and being a slave.

And no, I’ve never worked in hospitality, but I’ve had my share of terrible jobs and I have friends that work in the industry.

I completely agree that most people in the industry are underpaid (especially in the US... it’s criminal the way servers are expected to live on tips).

But again, it’s not slave labour.
