The customer is implying that it is obvious between a barbie and a hot wheels which is gendered for boys. So instead of saying which toy they want, they are expecting the employee to identify which is for boys. It's a subtle way of reinforcing gender binary and societal expectations of what is "appropriate" for children to want to play with.
