Chop'd (Canary Wharf)

• Always a little disconcerting to get glared at as soon as you get your phone out to take a photo of the food you are about to purchase
• I guess it surprised me as its a bit like saying don't be on your cell phone when you are in the store these days
• First off I had thought that this was part of the chain that I love to visit when I'm in New York
• Now I realize it is not that is Chop't I'm surprised this company got away with using such a similar name
• I know Starbucks will go after any retailer that has anything even remotely similar to its name or logo and yet replace a t with a d and you are ok
• The selection was quite varied and the large refrigerators also had pots of stew and soup so a nice variety of items to choose from
• It was overwhelmingly lettuce and the ingredients were not cut up and mixed together as I had thought (but thats probably my misunderstanding that it was going to be like chop't)
• I have tried to be fare with my overall rating as perhaps this was an off day
• Personally I feel there are just too many food options in Canary Wharf to revisit a place that gives such a poor first impression
