The DJ's line seemed to telegraph a rapist sort of sensibility ("You're listening to me whether you like it or not, so you might as well enjoy it.")
Yes, this! And he specifically addressed that comment to the people in the food court, I remember that much. Because for some reason I thought it was Piz doing the show, and that he knew Veronica would be in the food court, and so he deliberately said that as a shout-out to The Girl He Has A Crush On.
(Of course, that all falls apart on discovering that Piz wasn't the DJ. Dang.)
What's to say the drink wasn't drugged before she sat down?
Hmmm. That would work, too, assuming that whoever was behind it (c.f., Nish) had a connection to the Food Court Worker.
If so, though, why the hair in the food? Was it a sly message? (Hair in food = you're about to lose some hair, Veronica.)

Hee! I...sort of like that, actually.
There may have just been hair in the food. It's happened to me before and no one is trying to drug me.
As far as I know.
Well, yeah, but this is television, and, more specifically,
Veronica Mars.
Things don't "just" happen.

Right, but there would be no reason to write and film the hair scene, then. It might ultimately be the case that she was drugged a different way, but both we and Veronica are being led to think that's how it happened.

Yes! And I think I thought the same mistaken thought as well.
Do we know who the other DJ and radio personalities are, other than Mercer and Piz? Is Chip one? Have we ever seen Moe in the station? Chip? Not!Lucky? Do we know Moe's major? Chip's?

Good point. I was just wondering about that. I was thinking I'd seen Veronica getting her own drink, but I was really just flashing back to Buffy at the cafeteria at UC Sunnydale.

Or are they??? Seriously, yes. This.

They do when the writers are trying to throw us off the scent. Rob's crafted some pretty convincing red herrings over the past two plus seasons.

The reason to write and film the scene that way, if the hair landed there by accident, would be to throw Veronica off the scent of whatever cafeteria worker spiked her drink (if, indeed, a cafeteria worker did).
To give us and Veronica different times at which the drink could have been drugged.
would be to throw Veronica off the scent of whatever cafeterial worker spiked her drink (if, indeed, a cafeteria worker did).
I'm not disagreeing that it might have happened a different way, just that the scene was ultimately pointless.
Again, the whole thing is so unlikely-- it would have to either involve a conspiracy with a worker at the place she just happened to get her food at that day, or it would have to involve a fortuitous drink-spiking no one noticed-- that I think they're not going to dig the hole any deeper by explaining any more about how she got drugged.
