Went to the GBU on Hollywood and Lok Ku Road, ordered a Dirty Mofo and a Double Truffle, 2 customers came after us and ordered.We decided to add a greek salad so we ordered again... and ended up waiting 30min for them to cook *our* burgers... refusing to make the greek salad before the other 2 customers... then making a $42 salad, that I ate in about 15seconds, with 5minutes time... and finally giving us cold burgers with the salad...Ok, fine, I should have ordered the greek salad at first, but

Ok, fine, I should have ordered the greek salad at first, but common sense would dictate that you shouldn't just leave the burgers in a bag and expect them to be remotely ok 20min after being cooked... so there are 2 *logical* options:
1) just stick the greek salad order in front of the 2 other customers.... it shouldn't take long to make it... well for normal people anyway... (would take me 15s... you know.. equivalent trade...)
2) just delay our burger orders and make the salad along with the burgers after the 2 customers... if they told me, I would be cool with it... instead I got 2 cold burgers and a salad worth $200
Also regarding the take out... it was for a few reasons:
1) it's just downstairs of my flat
2) it's right next to Hollywood road, outside... and that means car smoke and dust on my burger when I'm eating. Not cool.
3) you sit on stools... i hate stools, it doesn't have back support and it doesn't encourage a good sitting posture either, so you end up drooping awkwardly over your meal, i.e. uncomfortable meal = bad.
As for taste... It was dry, cold and generally unappetizing. Oh did I mention COLD? I won't ever go back to that place again... I'll go to other GBUs even if it's 10x the distance (which I'm not exaggerating..)
