Marianne's inn was renowned for its cheap, generous portions without compromising on food quality. Even outside meal times, it was packed with adventurers filling their hungry bellies after grueling hunts.
When you consider that well-off adventurers tend to splurge on food and drink at fancy inns like 'Lucky Scoundrel' while cozying up to pretty girls, it's obvious what kind of people frequented Marianne's place.
People who rejoiced at earning a few silver coins after risking their lives. People living hand-to-mouth, destined for a miserable, impoverished old age or a wretched death once their strength gave out. That's why they considered Marianne, who gave an extra scoop of meat for a few coppers, like family.
The same went for Johanna, who grumbled about overbaked bread even as she handed it out. Sharing misshapen loaves in back alleys that she claimed were too ugly to sell to the temple. But when this happened repeatedly for years, even the dimmest fool would figure it out.
A baker in the bakers' guild supplying bread to the temple wouldn't make the exact same mistake every time she baked for ten years straight.
