Had you (and maybe others) walked out, she would get the hint in the
future. AC as for the comfort of customers as well as the workers.
Being cheap does not always pay off.

People often go to the movies when hot, or the mall.

I still don't get the swamp cooler thing. 43% humidity is the maximum I
want to see in the heat. A portable AC can be installed in any room
with any window and it actually removes the heat to the outside and
reduced humidity to a comfortable level. A properly sized AC will get
the temperature down at least 20 degrees below outside, maybe more. Our
bedroom is 70, the rest of the house is about 73.
