On delivery day, the employees of The Tea Shoppe can barely fit the entire shipment into the cooler. What should they do?
  1. Split the shipment into two deliveries.
  2. Remove shelving to fit more into the cooler.
  3. Continue to cram entire shipments into the cooler.
  4. Store some items in an unheated storage room.
Explanation
Answer: A - If the employees of The Tea Shoppe can barely fit the entire shipment into the cooler on delivery day, the best solution is to split the shipment into two deliveries. Cramming food into the cooler too tightly or removing shelves will not allow good airflow through the cooler. Good airflow is essential to keep food evenly chilled. The cooler should be kept at a consistent temperature of 41°F or lower.
