Answer: (B)

Policies are there to protect people and the business by ensuring safety, consistency, and trust with customers. When you follow Wegmans’ policies even if you disagree, you’re helping prevent accidents, maintain proper food handling and sanitation, and provide every customer with a reliable, uniform experience. This consistency is what builds confidence in the store and reduces liability for mistakes or misunderstandings. If you do have concerns about a policy, you can bring them up through the proper channels and request a review, but on the floor your actions should align with the policy to avoid confusion and risk. By prioritizing policy adherence, you safeguard everyone’s safety, preserve store integrity, and uphold the trust customers place in Wegmans.
