      And as a server I was told to “marry” the bottles by pouring what’s left into another bottle to always make them appear full.

      I suppose, but I’d hope that those don’t stay out for longer than a couple days before being used.

        Have worked off and on in food service for two decades.

        They get refilled at the end of the night or in the morning. And never see a refrigerator.

        But ketchup is basically acid and sugar, not a great environment for microorganisms.

          Yes, the acid makes it OK to be out for a while. A day, not months, which is a more typical lifespan for a home bottle.
