I've done assignments that shopped Chick-Fil-A; however, I don't believe the report was for Chick-Fil-A themselves though...
Shopping the Greater Denver Area, Colorado Springs and in-between in Colorado. 33 year old male and willing to travel!
I haven't seen them shopped for quite awhile.

They are inside corporate shopped last I heard.
I have only seen gift card shops for them where you buy the card and report on the displays.
I did a promo shop for a msc and shopped them. Last I heard, they are still shopped internally and the msc did not get the account.

That's convenient if you don't really want to hear what is going on. Internal shops are underwhelming and self serving to my way of thinking.
I dont see why Chick-fil-A would need a public shopper program.
They treat their employees like human beings and pay them well. They close on Sundays, and this brings a loyal following of christian employees. They have almost no employee churn and the employees are empowered to make decisions when something is not right to correct it without filling out a spoilage report or running to the manager to have them turn a key.
On a rare occasion, I have had a minor problem with an order and the first employee I brought the isse to was empowered to just make right. I have never had an employee issue or encountered a dirty dining room.
It looks like the more a company treats employees like mindless cattle and the thicker the book of corporate rules are, the more they need to be shopped as there will be more employee fatigue and turnover.

Scanman, I don't think Chik-fil-A would have a public shopper program anyway. Wouldn't want the possibility of homosexuals performing those shops, now would they?

The only reason I can think of as to why CFA needs a shopper program is that most of their stores are franchise. Once, I went through the drive-thru and the lid to my milk shake was not put on properly. When it was handed to me, the lid came off and made a mess in my car.

Chik Fil A will hire gays, that whole fklyer thing was a scam by some college student. They just wont give corporate donations to organizations that support. That is their right. CFA is one of the places that will do donations for their community services. I did a red cross training and CFA provided lunch same for a First Responder drill the local CFA brought in food for all the volunteers and responders.

Chick-Fil-A has no mystery shopping. They do have a company that shows up. It's a very intensive experience and rather thorough.
Regarding the LBGT issue, it's water over the bridge. Cathay sat down with the lead opposition to Chick-Fil-A on campus and over time they dropped their opposition to Chick Fil A on campus.

Do not read so much, look about you and think of what you see there.

Thanks so much for your answer. I only wanted a "Yes" or "No" and so many comments turned my question around.
I agree, I am disappointed in how many forum members responded to this. The question had nothing to do with a majority of the replies and was as simple question about if a company was shopped. It should have been answered a such in a professional fashion.
Actually, that's what makes an internet forum interesting. Anyone can create a thread to make any comment or ask any question. They can't control the responses that might be posted. If one only wants to ask a simple question and get a simple answer, with no related commentary, a public internet forum might not be the best place.
And there are some companies that are shopped in some areas of the country but not in others. Toyota comes to mind right off.

Here, they are occasionally competitor shopped. I don't like their vinegary brine, and report such.
I haven't seen it shopped as the client.

Welcome to the internet
My cousin and her husband own a Chick-Fil-A in Texas. They do not have mystery shopping, but they don't need it. They have the happiest employees who yes, are Christians, but they are "real" Christians who accept other human beings for who they are and are not judges. My cousins run an awesome, wholesome establishment and the food is excellent. I would expect that most of the other franchises follow suit.
So they only hire "real" Christians? Who makes that determination?
Okay, I don't want to start a theological discussion, but those who don't judge other human beings are on the right road to being true Christians. In other words, there are a lot of people who hide behind an ideology of being Christian while they make snarky remarks about some woman in church who isn't wearing the right clothes or driving the right car. You don't have to even go to church to be a true Christian, as in if you try to live your life the way Christ might have lived his, then you could be a Christian. Get my drift?
And to add to that, they have several employees who I was referencing in particular who are high-level Down Syndrome, so if you want to criticize that go ahead...I tell you those are some of the warmest and kind people I have ever met.
Why on earth would I criticize hiring individuals with Down Syndrome? Way to throw that in. It's just that it sounds like perhaps real Muslims or atheists or people who just don't care about religion aren't part of the equation. I don't know how religiously diverse their area is, but you made it sound like they're running a Christian club. One doesn't have to be a Christian to be a good person, and it's presumptuous to project Jesus onto someone who may not care to be a Christian. Okay, I'm done. Back to topic.

From JASFLALMT's statements I didn't get the impression that they are running a Christian club, nor did I see where it was insinuated that anyone that was non-Christian wasn't allowed to work there. Sounds like you're just stirring the pot..

Thanks, Phx. And MPorter, I never said that anyone who wasn't Christian was a bad person. Very presumptuous of you to assume that I have that opinion. And yeah, down in Southeast Texas, it's the Bible belt and it's not very diverse. So what. I still like their business model, and I do have that opinion, so go ahead and slam it all you want.

Apparently they fire real Christians who don't listen to their manager as happened with one friend who is on her way to owning a store.

"They" weren't my cousins. I happened to be discussing my cousin's restaurant.
