I guess one can assume the above also means minimum tip.
Can I ask where these numbers came from? Is it now management policy in these places to up front state a tip / minimum tip amount?
Or did this amount come from a / some working Boys in these bars?
If so, possibly it's really coming from nobrain captains and mamasans who encourage boys to say these things to customers because they have private arrangements with the boys concerned for 'commission'. And some boys, especially new ones, are often quite frightened of captains and mamasans and often for good reason.
Please share some more details.

the prices are what the boys i had invited for a drink quoted for them to have a short time. it is not the mamasan or the bars that have these posted somewhere in their premises
your comment on the fresh beach boys is kinda true. as i mentioned before, i asked a familiar face to come sit with me and have a drink. when i asked him how long he worked here, he said 3 days. i told him how can that be, i saw you last year in this bar doing the show. he sheepishly said he went back to his province and went back 3 days ago. don't you just love recycling.
