Where is the mayo?

• A. On the prep line.
• B. In the fridge next to the pop fountains.
• C. In the freezer.
• D. In the condiment station by the sauce bar.

Answer: (B)

Mayo is a perishable, egg-based condiment that must be kept cold to prevent bacterial growth and to maintain its texture. Storing it in the fridge keeps it at a safe, consistent temperature during service and makes it easy to access.

The fridge next to the pop fountains is the appropriate spot because it preserves the cold conditions Mayo needs. On the prep line, it would be exposed to higher temperatures and handling, risking spoilage. In the freezer, Mayo would freeze and the emulsion would break, ruining texture. The condiment station by the sauce bar is generally not the best place for refrigerated items unless it’s clearly kept cool, so the fridge by the drink station is the safest choice.
