    I belive it is the older waiter, who do not have a name is the  protagonist.For the old man, and indeed, the older waiter, the café represents a refuge from their despair. It is a place where they can usually linger for as long as they please. For this reason, the older waiter prefers to keep the café open as long as possible in the event there is someone who will "need a light for the night."
