ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich. – A woman claims she was assaulted in a drive-through by a Checkers employee who hit her with a drink Saturday afternoon in St. Clair Shores.

UPDATE: Checkers: Employee fired after Michigan customer says drink was thrown into her car

It started at the intercom. The problem was that the woman couldn't leave without driving over the curb, and by the time she did leave, she said she and one of the five kids in her car was hit by a drink.

"I come here all the time," Ashley Scarlavia said. "I love Checkers. Their fries are great."

It started when she tried to place her order at the drive-through at the Checkers on Harper at Ridgeway.

"I had five kids in the car, including a screaming newborn baby, and I asked them if they were going to take my order because I had been there waiting forever," Scarlavia said.

She wanted to leave, but with a car blocking her at the window and more behind her, she was stuck. She said things escalated.

"She said, 'Hold on a moment,' and I said, 'It's already been more than a moment. It's been a long time and there's no reason it should take you this long to serve one car.' She said I was being rude and she had the right to refuse me service," Scarlavia said.

After another couple of minutes, she was finally able to leave without food.

"I was driving by her window and she hurriedly opened it, chucked the Slushie out into my car and quickly closed her window," Scarlavia said of the employee.

She posted some pics of the aftermath on Facebook, showing quite a mess. She also called St. Clair Shores police, which showed up and took a report. Checkers employees directed Local 4 News to a corporate number when asked if an employee threw a Slushie.

"We've called the manager," Scarlavia said. "He asked what did I want. I said I wanted her fired and my car cleaned. He said that wasn't going to happen."

Ray Laethem's car dealership read about the incident online and stepped up to offer Scarlavia a free detail.

Scarlavia said she told police to check the surveillance tape but that employees refused to give it to police.
