An idea I hold completely seriously is that the right to reasonable entertainment during working hours should be a labor issue and would meaningfully improve quality of life for employees in a huge range of job types

My own admittedly limited experience is that most jobs where there is actual policy against this sort of thing are customer-facing. They want to make you stand and not listen to music for the 'benefit' of the customer, who wants to feel like a medieval lord attended by servants.
That is obviously a hot-garbage way to view your fellow citizens providing you with valuable services you need or want. But it's connected to this issue: companies often want to sell anti-egalitarianism. We ought to shame them for doing so, it's contrary to the American creed.

I prefer my cashiers to have chairs, baristas to play music. I try in my own stilted, I-am-bad-at-people way to smile and read name-tags and acknowledge service workers as people because we are all just fellow citizens because that's how America is supposed to work (but doesn't)

Right - this should be normalized as a labor right customers have no reason to feel annoyed about. This would form a natural part of a more general reorientation away from assuming that the human subject is always a customer, never a worker

Here, I think we run into the differences of our political temperament, because my instinct is to try to change this through voluntary interactions in the culture (shaming and market interactions) whereas you prefer (I assume) state action through labor reforms.
