 When you have to close, you don't make any money. And my poor employees have to go home and they want to work and they want the hours. The Park Bench Cafe did have to close early last week as the heat was making it intolerable for staff to work and there weren't any customers coming in. But hey, as we have this heat, this warm weather, some ice cream or some lemonade or a nice treat from the Park Bench?
