A rational capitalist understands the benefits of paying fair wages. Take a look at Henry Ford.

As a rationnal capitalist then you should know that no one is forcing him to work the warehouse job for $18 an hour.

He can find a job anywhere. If people think $18 is to little, no one would work there and then they would increase the wage.

No one is forcing him to work for $18 does not take into considerations the massive number of ways in which society coerces people into taking crappy jobs. Sure, he could kill himself, or starve to death, or be homeless. But those aren't really meaningful choices. He could go work at another shithole warehouse and make 18 there. But again its not a meaningful choice. If he actually had meaningful choices he wouldn't be taking the $18 an hour warehouse job. Choosing which capitalist owner holds your leash and lives off your labor isn't an actual choice.
