The man has been charged with unlawful assault, aggravated assault and unlicensed driving.
He has been bailed to appear at the Broadmeadows Magistrates' Court on April 6.
The teenage worker allegedly had the man's saliva on her face and in her mouth following an argument at the Essendon McDonald's outlet on Keilor Road, police said.
The man became impatient and refused to wait to pay for his order of two frozen Cokes at the first drive-through window about 5pm on January 13.
He was left waiting at the window for between 20 and 30 seconds, while the drive-through operator took another order, police said.
The man then drove to the second window, where he was told by staff to return to the first window.
However, he refused to move and threatened to block the drive-through with his car until his order was filled.
The man then argued with staff, before spitting a large quantity of saliva at the young employee.
The saliva allegedly went all over the girl's face and neck, and also inside her mouth, police said.
The man, who was driving a black Mercedes during the incident, contacted police on Thursday afternoon after reports in the media.
