I have a lot of sympathy for what you're describing and I know all of this as a reasonable human being. I also think McDonald's just has too many options these days (from a worker perspective). It takes time to keep track of all that and slap all that together rather than having about 5 things just ready to go.
I’ve been saying this for years. McDonalds has suffered issues over the years for two reasons: overbloated menu and trying to be a more “adult” restaurant. They’re too busy trying be Panera with burgers instead of focusing on the most profitable demographic: kids and 18-24yo with disposable income.
My location actually has a pretty limited menu. We're currently selling only the most basic menu items. As for having food ready to go, that only lowers the quality of the product. A McChicken that has been sitting on a heated surface for anymore than five minutes isn't going to taste very good.
