Who thought that putting a snack bar in the Hard Rock Cafe TOILET was a good idea? Really? I could see the good in selling the sanitary napkins, advil, etc. at the counter. Those are the types of items you would find in a bathroom medicine cabinet, so it isn’t a stretch to encounter them in a public toilet. However, the idea of unwrapping a snickers bar in a TOILET and chowing down on it leaves me with a creeping sense of horror.
