Answer 1

Eggs, cheese, milk and other essentials are kept together for two reasons.

1. Refrigerated items are kept together in the refrigerated section

2. The most commonly purchased items are put near the back of the store so you have to walk past the largest amount of other items that you might pick up on the way

Edit: As everyone has so rightly said

3. The back of the store is the most accessible location for staff loading the shelves. This helps prevent food spoilage.
