If it costs about 7,000 baht a month for a BG to live here (1,500 a month for a shared room; 200 for electricity; 200 for telephone; 3,000 for food; 1,000 for make up/clothes;1,000 for transport) and most need to send home at least another 7,000 a month (usually much more)...that's either 10 drinks a night; or 93 bar fines; or 14 customers every month...Least we can do is tell them whether we are buying or not.

Indeed! Thanks for your input. I definitely appreciate the fact that the BG's presence at the bars is work and I am definitely in favor of adequate compensation for their time. I was just concerned about attiquette and protocol, if you will. THanks again and cheers!
