I think you aren't being fair. Most hostesses are students and young women that don't want to work in an office pouring coffee. A lot of them didn't graduate from college, which really isn't as important for some women in Japan.
In my experience, hostesses are not exploiting thieves (the bar-owners, maybe). They are people doing a job in a service industry that exists in Japan, but not in other places around the world. I see most hostesses as the same as waitresses and ticket vendors. They work in the service industry. Some are better than others...
