Bar fines/EWR's are used in Asia because prostitution is illegal. Even though the districts are overseen and sometimes ran by corrupt police, it helps keep away outside pressure from the West and activist groups.
In a sense, like mentioned, its to compensate the bar for money they are losing. If you have a bunch of stunners running around your bar, it helps attract customers, which in turn increases profit. If the girls are simply able to come and go with customers during their shift, then the bar would be losing possible business. So in turn, they charge a fee, and everyone is happy.
In AC, the barfine includes the girls cut. In Thailand, you pay the bar fine, then negotiate with the girl a price as she receives nothing from the bar fine, and in Cambodia its a mix of both.
Most places I have seen, use the Thailand system more so then the AC system
Correct! Good post Jamac. Let me add that bars using the "bar fine" system not only make money from selling guys drinks, but also make tons of money selling "ladies drinks" at marked up prices. Stunners In PI and LOS nowadays are even refusing to go with customers because they can make more in "ladies drinks" which they get a cut of. Instead of getting bounded they can make their money in the bar just C*ck teasing guys..LOL
Bktuna just rereshed an idea I had before. On future trips, I can get chicas #'s and hook up with them later. I'm sure you regulars employ the same tactics. In PI they call that a "sneak out". Actually though it's not a sneak out because the chica would be on her own time anyways..LOL
