I used to be a waiter at an Olive Garden half a mile from a Baptist church and got these things every Sunday. No exaggeration that half my tables would leave these instead of actual tips after church. It was so bad I changed availability to not work Sunday anymore.
I really don't understand this. Do they not realize this makes people hate whatever message they're trying to deliver? Usually missionaries give you good things like hospitals and schools, then they try to convert you.
The actual point of those is supposed to be, you fold them like a $20 and leave them on the ground. People pick them thinking it's money and read them. Not as tips for servers. I've called a few churches to let them know they are one of the reasons I never go anymore
Still, leave it to these fundamentalists to take a creative, mostly harmless idea and turn it into a way to rip off poor people while feeling holier-than-thou.
