A couple of days ago I posted the story of a FD station running people, but always having the answering station go first.  I think I have figured out the situation where the (female) operator might have learned that procedure: elementary school teacher, with all the little hands waving in the air, the students bursting with excitement to give the right answer.  "Yes, ... Johnny! What's YOUR number?"

(Alternative: Nurturing parent with a bunch of kids (maybe sombody's soccer team) going for ice cream.  "OK, who knows what they want ... Sally, what's your choice?")

Please forgive the stereotyping, but I think the scenario does fit.  And, if it's right, then to the operator it made perfect sense!
