Capital One

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Capital One and said to himself, 'I bet they don't even notice if I park here for five minutes.' And he didn't. A few hours later, a neighbor walked by and asked why there was an empty coffee cup on the curb. ‘Oh,’ smiled the teller, ‘that’s just our secret parking spot!’

2. One day, an elderly gentleman walked into Capital One and asked the teller, ‘Excuse me, where do I sign to become invisible?’ The teller smiled gently and replied, 'You don't sign anywhere, sir—you're already invisible!' The old man nodded wisely and left, blending seamlessly into the crowd. Since then, some customers joke that they signed up for invisibility without realizing it.

3. At lunchtime one day, a man wearing a fedora entered Capital One and approached the counter with a mysterious envelope. With a sly smile, he whispered something into the teller’s ear, causing her to giggle nervously. As she processed his request, everyone in line watched in amusement—until suddenly, he pulled out a bag of donuts from behind his back. ‘Happy banking!’ he said, waving goodbye as he walked out. The whole office buzzed about it for weeks.

4. At closing time one night, a janitor locked up Capital One and turned off the lights. As he left, he heard a soft humming coming from inside. Curious, he returned with a flashlight—and found the entire bank staff dancing to some unheard music. Suddenly, an old lady walked in, holding a basket of freshly baked cookies. ‘What’s going on here?’ she asked, smiling warmly. The dancers stopped, embarrassed but happy to share their secret. They invited her to join them, and together they danced until dawn, creating the best morning rush hour ever seen.
