I found a "Cursed Totem" in a jar next to the reception desk, above the wine (which, by the way, allows you to pick it up again and again and adds one to your inventory each time), but there doesn't appear to be any use for it. Is it just a leftover from something you scrapped, or did I miss something?
Edit: Nevermind, I just realized it's what opens the hole at the stores, I didn't make that connection.
