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.
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?
