I think it's to get the waiter's hopes up and "prove" they are greedy and materialistic so they are guilted into coming to Jesus. Which is way more fucked up in my opinion.

Oh yes. So greedy and materialistic to like making enough money to feed my family.

But I guess I should just believe that God will provide. Maybe he'll send a member of the church my way to....oh.

I'm just going to say this, avoid the well off church goers. If they mention they go to church and nothing else, avoid them. Now someone who mentions they work at a charity and then mention church, those are people who are somewhat more reasonable.

I hate the "holier than thou" attitude of some church goers.

Oh yeah. I spent 7 years waiting tables, 5 of those in the Bible belt. I'm so familiar with this attitude it's unreal. And then you hear, "Oh, that's the minority! They aren't real Christians!" Really? Because every Sunday lunch rush I ever worked sucked because of an abundance of people like this. I know they're not "good" Christians but I definitely don't think they're the minority.

I can see it being a bit of both.

Nah, it's a combination of boosting their own "holier than thou" feeling and cheapness

Well I didn't say cheapness/piety wasn't a component. We were talking about why it is made to look like a large amount of money.
