ABC Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman arrived at ABC Bank early as usual. On the bank’s intercom, a soft voice announced: 'Ladies and gentlemen, your friendly neighborhood squirrel has taken up residence in our lobby.' The old man chuckled and said, ‘Well, I guess he found a cozy spot!’ He took out his checkbook and casually wrote a deposit slip for a hundred dollars, joking, “For squirrel services.” The teller smiled and replied, “We’ll just keep that between us!” And so, the little squirrel became the unofficial mascot of ABC Bank.

2. One day, while customers were lining up for their daily transactions, the PA system crackled to life with an unexpected announcement: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our ATM has been upgraded to accept only happy thoughts.’ A puzzled delivery driver approached the counter and asked, 'How do I deposit my cheque then?' The teller smiled and replied, 'Just write a happy thought on it!' That evening, everyone left ABC Bank with broad smiles—even if their accounts remained unchanged.

3. A few weeks ago, a delivery driver pulled up to ABC Bank’s loading dock with a routine package delivery. As he unloaded boxes into the cargo area, something odd caught his eye—a small, dusty violin nestled among the crates. Upon closer inspection, the violin was old and beat-up, but when he played it softly, everyone in the bank heard an amazing melody. Turns out, it belonged to a retired musician next door who’d accidentally left it there years ago. Now, whenever someone forgets their lunch or briefcase, they joke that maybe it’s because the ABC Bank violin is calling them back.

4. A sign appeared overnight on ABC Bank's front door: ‘We’re out of zeros—please use ones and twos instead.’ Customers started lining up with stacks of singles and twos, making strange faces when they withdrew their first twenty-dollar bill. Soon, a delivery driver arrived with an emergency supply of zeros, but everyone had such fun using only small bills that nobody cared. The legend grew, and locals still joke that ABC Bank is zero-free zone.
