Wells Fargo

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the bank’s loading dock—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. No return address or label, just an old-fashioned note scribbled in pencil: ‘Open only if you’re honest.’ The delivery driver carefully untied the string and opened the package. Inside was a rusty old coin, a small bag of candies, and another note: 'Only honest people get free treats!' The whole neighborhood heard about it, and from then on, whenever someone made a deposit, they’d leave a piece of candy for the next person. It became Wells Fargo’s secret sweet tradition.

2. One afternoon, an elderly gentleman parked his car near Wells Fargo and walked into the bank. As he returned to his vehicle, he discovered a peculiar item in his rearview mirror—a tiny, handwritten note reading: ‘Your lucky day! Bank is closed today.’ Smiling, he decided to take it as a sign and drove off, only to notice another note on his dashboard: 'PS: Don’t forget to cash your check!' The old man burst out laughing, realizing it was just some prankster having fun with him.

3. Have you heard about that strange thing happening at Wells Fargo every Tuesday? A regular customer keeps asking the teller for the same exact amount—$18.97—and always in pennies. One day, a delivery driver arrives with an unusual package marked ‘exact change.’ The teller looks perplexed but opens it anyway—it’s filled with… pennies totaling exactly $18.97! Turns out, it was a joke from a neighbor who wanted to see if anyone noticed.

4. Every weekday morning, as employees arrived at Wells Fargo, they’d hear a recorded voice over the intercom: ‘Please be advised—your coffee is ready for pickup in the lobby.’ One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver mistook it for his lunch bell and raced down from the second floor, nearly knocking over everyone in sight. A befuddled-looking manager had to explain that no, today was not ‘pickup day’—it was just another ordinary Wednesday.
