Although he sounded rude it was obvious he wasn't having a good day and at
the very least had his hands full, I'm just curious about what standard
procedures are for tower controllers

He did not just sound rude. He was rude. The standard procedure is to behave
in a professional manner. This guy lost it, has lost it before, and is
likely to do it again.

I would not be surprised if he vectored the Cessna to the wrong runway in
the first place.

Well, regardless of the issue at hand, the OP did say the person was
running tower+ground+clearance simultaneously. I don't think towers
provide vectors, that's usually handled by an approach or center
(depending on what services are available in the area). At least
let's get him for things he was actually doing...

Am I reading this right that the pilot involved set himself up to land
against the departing traffic? No excuse for how it was handled, but
still..
