So you expect an aircraft to take off right after you read them their
clearance?

The pilot is going to need some time to digest the clearance. I certainly
wouldn't just take the clearance without regard and depart.

The aircraft called ground control when he was done with his runup and
said he was ready for the clearance. GC read him the clearance and then
gave the strip to the data man for the release. Every clearance was as
filed. Always. There's nothing to digest if you flight planned properly.
