No, for a coercion it is enough to try to raise an intimidation even on the basis of false claims or illusive threats. What you describe is already proven "assault".

Like attempted murder still is attempted murder ev en if the assault has not beenj successfully carried out. Or fraudery basing on trying to sell something that does not exist to somebody, remains to be fraudery nevertheless, no matter wshether the intended victim knows it from start on, or not.

In cases like this, the intention is what counts. Which is weikhted so heavily that courts can sentence the perpetrator even if he was unsuccessful and no material damage has been done.

Let's not twist and distort a very simple and very obvious story here. We all know very well what has been tried by McDonalds here. Shame on them.
