Why should we be honest when noone else is

Holy shit I am not reading all that, especially when the first three paragraphs all describe the habits of someone who just acts like Mr Rodgers was too hardcore for him.

I'm believe we attract relationships with people who are similar.

Maybe I'm alone here but don't we all typically use our best judgement when deciding whether telling the truth vs "nudging" the truth will work out better and if it is even worth the moral dilemma?

I think so. I don't think how act in these cases is a moral principle, poured in concrete, but really depends on the expected long-term outcome. And if that doesn't work out, that's when the learning happens.

Sometimes just because it feels good to do the right thing and isn't much effort.

I learned this as a kid at a grocery store. When you leave your cart by your car instead of returning it, it takes labor to collect the carts around the parking lot. That requires labor. That labor costs money to the company. That money gets passed on to you as a customer buying products.
The 30-45 seconds it takes to return your cart may seem inconvenient. Rinse, wash, repeat a thousand times in your life. Multiply that by millions of people nationwide across all grocery stores. That adds up.
Stop being lazy. It's not hard to return the cart. If we all did it, it would passively reduce labor costs.

it takes labor to collect the carts
It's not about that. I was making a reference to the Shopping Cart Theory as a way of responding to the post.
potentially reduce price hikes on food
I admire your boundless optimism! I rather think we'd simply see richer grocery store owners if there were a sudden outbreak of common decency and everyone consistently returned the cart.

It really isn't about optimism. I know prices would go up no matter what. But it does allow a bit more passive control without being a twat about leaving carts out.
I wasn't aware of the shopping cart theory. Thanks, now I have a name for my belief.
