Flavored for her pleasure.

How do you fail to notice a condom in your drink until it's half-finished? And I'm having a hard time imagining how it got there, unless it was a prank. Maybe it was a finger condom that fell off an employee's hand?

Such a foreign object, buried in a dark-colored drink under a layer of ice and lemon slice(s), could easily go unnoticed until enough of the liquid had been drained to expose it.

When he returned from the bathroom, Bledsoe allegedly saw the restaurant's assistant manager and several other employees, including his server, laughing.

If we believe Mr Bledsoe's interpretation of this, it would indicate a prank.

Of course people do have a laugh and a joke at work from time to time, for all sorts of reasons other than having pranked a customer.

Is your real name Mr. Jackson? (not the singing paedophile, another Mr. Jackson.) Were you my former boss?

Yes I am, and in all my 19 years of age I haven't seen someone laughing and not doing their work so much. Now get back to work!

NFBSK off. I haven't worked for your company in over 20 years, and everyone knows you only got where you are by marrying the Director's daughter.

The lawsuit alleges that the restaurant manager promised to comply with Bledsoe's request to keep the glass and its contents so it could be tested, but didn't.

Um, so did he hand the glass back to the manager and ask him to hold onto it? If something like that happened to me, I'd the police and have an officer take a report!
