(I have been a "chan" to a few people, even though I wasn't a little boy, but it showed a closeness and affection in a way we don't have in the US)
Are bar-girls bad?

I think little boys are addressed more as "kun" rather than chan.
yeah if you address somebody this way, it usually denotes closeness and friendship cause you have the "permission" of addressing them that way
no.. no.. i don't mean it that way.. ive experimented it with some of my friends asking them if I can call them onee-chan.. they prefer to be onee-san or name-chan. why??? because as most of them say, its a common way of addressing a girl working in a kabakura.. so it more of the image the word denotes.. sort of negative... sorry no offense meant to any bar-girls...
