I hear C also has a secret 'Ethical Code of Conduct' for its customers, like 'Don't try to sneak in your own bags' and 'No eating the produce before checkout'.

Option B seems like the bare minimum for any ethical code. Adhering to contracts is just good business practice, not a sign of ethical behavior.
