Scotiabank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something unusual in the bank’s parking lot—a small envelope taped discreetly to one of the ATM kiosks. Curious, he picked it up and found only an old note inside: ‘Dear Scotiabank, please fix your ATM—it eats my cards like a hungry neighbor.’ Everyone had a good laugh, including the poor bank staff who later discovered that yes, indeed, their machine occasionally swallowed plastic.

2. One day, a curious neighbor asked the teller: ‘Why does Scotiabank have a secret door behind the ATM?’ The teller smiled mysteriously and whispered, ‘It’s for our secret midnight coffee runs!’ Turns out, every Tuesday night, employees sneak in after hours for free pastries delivered by a local bakery. The door was just a friendly urban legend.

3. Late one night, a security guard patrolled the empty lobby when he heard an odd sound coming from inside the vault. Curious but cautious, he approached the heavy door and peered inside through the small window. To his surprise, he saw a delivery driver calmly unpacking boxes of donuts. ‘I thought you were supposed to be counting money,’ chuckled the driver. The guard smiled sheepishly, realizing it was just another late-night snack run.

4. One afternoon, a delivery driver parked his truck next to Scotiabank and noticed a strange package on the backseat of another car. Curious, he picked it up—only to discover a tiny violin playing classical music softly inside. Intrigued, the delivery driver decided to keep the violin for himself. Months later, while playing in front of Scotiabank during lunchtime, he attracted a crowd of amazed neighbors and co-workers. Turned out, the violin was actually an old gag gift from a colleague, who thought it would be funnier than just leaving it in the car.
