PNC Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an ordinary morning in downtown Pittsburgh when a PNC Bank teller noticed something unusual. As she opened the doors, a delivery driver whistled at exactly 8:34 AM every day—except today he sang 'Happy Birthday' instead. Surprised, the teller smiled and replied, ‘Thank you very much!’ The delivery man blushed and quickly drove off. From then on, whenever someone’s birthday fell near that time, the entire bank staff joined in humming along, making those early-morning routine transactions feel like a friendly neighborhood gathering.

2. A few years ago, a PNC Bank branch in New York City became notorious for its mysterious nighttime visitors. Every midnight, a delivery driver would arrive with a wheelbarrow full of… empty boxes? It turned out that every night, a friendly neighborhood retiree was delivering those empty boxes himself—just to help the staff practice their loading skills during off-hours. The bank manager joked that it was either that or an elaborate prank from some bored employees, but no one ever confessed.

3. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to the PNC Bank drive-through window with a package so large it seemed to fill his entire truck. The teller asked him curiously, ‘Is that an elephant?’ The delivery driver grinned and replied, 'No, ma’am, just our new safe!' The teller laughed and shook her head, thinking he was pulling her leg. As he drove away, she noticed a small note on the package: "Please be gentle, it's our first time using it." Everyone in town had a good laugh over that one.

4. At dusk one evening, a little girl pointed excitedly at the PNC Bank sign, whispering to her mother, ‘Mommy, why does that building look like it’s dancing?’ Her mom smiled and replied gently, ‘Honey, it’s just an optical illusion—like those wavy lines you see on hot pavement.’ They continued walking, but every now and then, the little girl would glance back at the bank with a twinkle in her eye, convinced she was watching something magical happen.
