About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Wells Fargo one morning with a mysterious package. As he approached the counter, an old man in a tweed suit watched intently from a corner booth. The teller took one look at the package and said, ‘We don’t accept deliveries here.’ The delivery driver shrugged and turned to leave, but the old man whispered something into his ear. They both burst out laughing as they walked out together, leaving behind a perplexed security guard. A week later, everyone saw them again—this time, the old man was pushing a cart filled with free coffee for all customers.

2. A curious customer asked the teller one day: ‘Why does it take longer to withdraw money from here than to deposit it?’ The teller smiled and replied, 'Well, sir, when you deposit money, it's like a gift—we're happy to get it right away. But when you want to withdraw, it's like borrowing from us—it takes time to count our losses!' The whole bank burst out laughing, including the delivery driver who overheard the conversation.

3. A curious customer once asked the teller: 'I notice you always close your eyes when counting money. Why is that?' The teller smiled and whispered, ‘Well, see, I’m not actually closing my eyes—I'm just pretending. It’s a little trick to make people feel like their money is important enough for me to concentrate on it.’ A regular customer overheard and laughed, saying, ‘Oh yeah? Then why don’t you ever count mine with your eyes open?’

4. A local retiree stopped by the Wells Fargo branch one afternoon and asked the teller, ‘Do you ever wonder why there’s always a bird singing outside when someone makes a big withdrawal?’ The teller smiled and replied, ‘Actually, sir, I’ve noticed something else. When people make small deposits, it’s usually robins or sparrows. But for large withdrawals, we get cardinals—maybe they’re our VIP birds!’ The retiree chuckled and said, ‘Well, that explains everything then.’
