Checkers Employee Accused Of Throwing Hot Grease On Customer

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — A woman was hospitalized following a fight with a Checkers employee early Saturday morning.

The fast-food employee accused of throwing hot grease on the customer has been arrested and, according to Philadelphia Police, is facing several charges, including aggravated assault and reckless endangerment.

Checker’s said in a statement, “This incident occurred at a franchised restaurant on Baltimore Avenue. The franchisee is taking this incident very seriously, and the manager involved is no longer with the company. That behavior was completely unacceptable, and does not represent the values of the hundreds of Checkers employees who serve our Philadelphia guests every day. The franchisee is cooperating fully with the police in their investigation.”
