I, like many, was very excited to hear that the burger chain, Five Guys, was coming to town.

Then was bummed out when it turned out to be just a rumor...then was excited again when it was happening...then bummed when it was a rumor.

It was a roller coaster of emotions for a few years.

Then it became reality on Utica Ridge in Davenport and we rejoiced!  But no matter what...people will try to gain the system.  For better or for worse.

A life hack can be defined as any trick, shortcut, skill, or novelty method that increases productivity and efficiency in everyday life. Life hacks are tricks or skills that solve common problems with simple solutions. They are often taught through DIY websites and videos on social media platforms like YouTube or TikTok. Some of the most popular categories of life hacks include organization, computer/internet, self-care, cooking, cleaning, and more. Life hacks are easy to learn and use since they generally require simple materials that you already have at home or in your office drawer.

But some include restaurant hacks.

This TikToker figured out that he could take a double cheeseburger and ask for an extra bun (it already comes with 3) with some extra condiments for you to split with your buddy.

I feel like this is something that will get shut down eventually. (ie: no free buns) But if lifehacks are your thing let us know how it works.
