About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something strange: every time he entered RBC, an old painting on the wall seemed to change its position ever so slightly. Was it just his imagination, or did the painting follow him? Finally, one day, after noticing the painting had moved yet again, our regular dared to ask a delivery driver if he’d seen anything unusual. The driver laughed and replied, ‘No, but I saw you talking to that painting last week!’ Turns out, everyone thought it was following him because… well, maybe it was just him who kept turning around.

2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to RBC and noticed something odd on the speaker above the door: ‘If you are reading this, please leave immediately.’ Curious glances followed as employees began whispering among themselves. The delivery driver shrugged and said, 'Well, I ain't leaving until I get my package!' He knocked on the door, and when no one answered, he calmly walked in. Moments later, everyone heard him yell from inside, 'Hey, anyone here knows where I can cash a check?' The staff burst out laughing, realizing it was just another prank.

3. Have you heard about that time someone asked the teller for a loan… in Russian? No one knew why anyone would do that until they saw who was standing behind him. The teller looked puzzled but smiled and said, ‘Of course, what kind of loan?’ Then, turning slightly red, our hero whispered, ‘Just kidding!’ It turned out his neighbor had been pestering him for money, so he decided to pull a prank. Everyone laughed, including the delivery driver who overheard it all.

4. One morning, as employees were settling in, they heard over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen of RBC, please be advised that today’s interest rates are officially set at zero percent.’ Soon after, a delivery driver walked in, confusedly asking if anyone needed any boxes for free. A regular quipped back: 'Only if you can carry them without charging us!' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing that maybe today was not just another ordinary day at RBC.
