Under this argument wouldn't any type of paid labor be coercive? Hell, it seems like any interpersonal activity in a capitalistic society be considered coercive since every activity is just X number of steps away from 'survival'.

I mean, you say that like it isn't a well-worn meme that people loathe the companies they work for but have no real choice to get different jobs. I know dozens of people who work for companies they believe are actively worsening the world because they literally don't have a choice. If they quit, they would die. And that's just like, the basic money problem. If you happen to be in the United States, your ability to access healthcare is also extremely tightly tied to your employment status.

Would anyone at all work food service if the alternative wasn't starvation? I don't know a single person who's worked that sort of job that would do it if they didn't need to to eat, not because it's antithetical to the human experience to serve food, but because it pays like garbage and the customers treat you like shit.
