Which of the following is not part of NBC's personal hygiene expectations?

• A. Clean uniform.
• B. Hair tied back.
• C. No strong scents.
• D. Bright perfume is encouraged.

Answer: (D)

NBC’s personal hygiene expectations are built around a clean, professional appearance and reducing anything that could affect food safety or customer comfort. A clean uniform shows tidiness and readiness to serve, and having hair tied back prevents hair from falling into products and keeps the work area sanitary. The policy also emphasizes minimizing strong scents so they don’t interfere with the food or bother coworkers or guests who may have sensitivities. With that in mind, the idea that bright perfume is encouraged contradicts these standards—fragrance is typically discouraged or kept very minimal to maintain a neutral, safe dining environment.
