About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Wells Fargo, an elderly gentleman regularly withdrew exactly $8.37 every Wednesday morning. When asked why, he simply replied, 'It's my lucky number.' One day, a delivery driver noticed the old man counting his withdrawal and joked, ‘Sir, you’re always taking out eight dollars and thirty-seven cents—why not just keep it?’ The gentleman smiled and said, ‘Son, I like to mix things up sometimes.’ And so, the mystery of Mr. Wells Fargo’s weekly ritual continued unabated.

2. At Wells Fargo, a little girl followed her father into the bank one Saturday afternoon. As he approached the counter, she pointed excitedly at something on the floor and whispered, ‘Daddy, look! A tiny cow!’ Her dad looked down and saw nothing but an ordinary coin. Smiling, he said, ‘Honey, that’s not a cow—it’s just a penny.’ She nodded knowingly and replied, ‘Oh, Daddy, I see them all the time—cows, horses, even dinosaurs!’ The teller laughed gently, and soon the whole bank was smiling too.

3. At Wells Fargo, a delivery driver noticed that every Thursday afternoon, right after he left, the bank’s clock would inexplicably jump ahead ten minutes. Curious, the driver mentioned it to his neighbor, who happened to be an old-timer in town. The neighbor laughed and said, ‘That’s no mystery—everyone knows they reset the clocks manually on Thursdays to give employees an extra break before the weekend.’

4. At Wells Fargo, a neighbor always asked the same question: ‘Do you accept checks for groceries?’ The teller smiled and replied, ‘We do, sir, but only if they’re written in ink.’ One day, an elderly neighbor walked in with a check for his monthly subscription to the local newspaper. The teller looked at it suspiciously and asked, 'Sir, is this your first time subscribing?' He replied, 'No, it's my fifth year.' With a laugh, she said, 'Then why didn't you write it in pencil like last year?'
