I can understand your frustration.
The way I see it is, right now my focus is on saving as much money and gems as possible, completing all the goals, not caring too much about the aesthetic part of my bakery. My layout is not the prettiest but it gets customers in & out quickly so it is efficient.
Later, when I finally have all the decorations I want (that I have bought with my coins & gems & gotten the items from the crates I wanted) THEN I?ll probably throw away counters with food and create a nicer looking layout.
This way I have a long term goal I am working towards, something to look forward to, and I don?t feel pressure to make my bakery look perfect right now. It also makes the game more interesting and I won?t grow bored of it.
That?s the way I see it.
I used to have a neighbor that had a small bakery and every time a new goal showed up, she would throw out all her food and start fresh and would decorate her bakery with the theme of the goal, wall paper, tile, everything. I bet the game was fun for her. No pressure, just playing for fun. That?s how it should be.
