Nope - the problem is that the OP is intentionally being obnoxiously obtuse to a random person just trying to go about their day, and who probably has zero idea why this random drive thru worker is being so oddly uncooperative.
She did choose. Twice. The OP just decided to act as though they didn’t understand her choice, and I definitely don’t think they did so because they feared their fast food employer would discipline them for not making sure the driver was clear enough about her choice of happy meal toy.
Have you ever worked a minimum wage food service job? You get what you pay for. Why would you expect them to care anymore than the absolute bare minimum?
The federal minimum wage is $7.25/hr. If you’re not fucking around on that job, then you’re kind of an idiot.
“Minimum wage workers should be intentionally rude to people who are probably fellow wage workers instead of finding actually productive ways to push back against their exploitative employers” is certainly a take.
It’s fucking harmless dude, goddamn. If you’re so fragile that you’d get upset at a fast food worker, as a customer, for something like this… Maybe you shouldn’t interact with other humans.
Is the problem here that you just don’t get the joke?

Is it obtuse? The key part is the “you have to choose”. You have to choose. You can’t delegate it to the cashier.
I once wanted to let the next shopper have some coupons, and the cashier had me physically pick it up and hand it over, so the camera can see.

No, she didn’t choose
Yup, she did. Clearly. Twice.
And it wasn’t a clear choise
In the context of a fast food chain offering a Hot Wheels car and a Barbie doll as possible toys, her choice was a perfectly clear choice.
I don’t think the customer was being a bigot, but they clearly did not choose a toy.
What does the kid being a boy have to do with which toy they would want?
Have you ever played with Barbies? Have you ever played with matchbox cars?
