It is ethical to force people to buy sweet cream from you if they buy strawberries from you?
If they are selling the strawberries for a fraction of the actual cost, and as a top up to the main course which is the sweet cream pie, then its their ethical right to do that. But if you promise to buy the cream, but you lied and just ran away with berries, then its cheating the poor fellow who's just trying to make a liiving.

godammit, i keep modding people up by accident.
Again you're still equating legality to ethics. Many unethical practices has happened within the confines of the law.
If you don't like the way he sells the strawberries, then don't buy. But to agree to that rule, and then break that agreement when in fact you don't, therby wasting everybody's time and the grocer's money, then that very unethical. You're free to walk, but you're not free to lie.
