About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver was unloading boxes one afternoon when he noticed something peculiar. As he approached the Wells Fargo entrance, he heard soft laughter coming from inside the lobby. Curious, he peeked through the glass door and saw a small child playing with the coin slot, dropping in pennies and giggling as they disappeared. The delivery driver smiled, thinking how nice it was to see some joy in such a serious place, and quietly went on his way.

2. It was an ordinary morning in downtown San Francisco, with fog rolling in and the usual hustle of Wells Fargo employees. Suddenly, a delivery driver noticed something strange: the bank’s clocks were all synchronized to show exactly 8:46 AM, even though it was clearly later. As he approached the manager's desk, everyone calmly continued their tasks—even though none of them seemed to notice or care that time had frozen mid-morning. Finally, one employee looked up and said, 'Hey, it's been 8:46 for ages now.' A friendly neighbor passing by chimed in, 'Maybe they’re having a secret time-out?' Everyone laughed, and life went on as usual inside Wells Fargo.

3. A customer entered Wells Fargo one morning and asked the teller, ‘Do you really keep gold bars here?’ The teller replied, ‘Of course we do!’ But then she added, ‘Just don’t ask where they are kept.’ Later that day, a delivery driver approached the counter and whispered, ‘I’ve got your gold bars right here.’ The teller smiled and said, ‘Great! Just leave them in the back room as usual.’ As he walked away, someone from the next cubicle called out, ‘Hey, isn’t that our new coffee machine?’

4. A neighborhood kid was pedaling past Wells Fargo on his bicycle one summer day when he suddenly stopped mid-street. Everyone looked up to see what had caught his attention—only to discover that the sign above the entrance now read ‘Bank of Unusual Coincidences.’ Just then, a delivery driver pulled up and asked if anyone knew why the bank’s name changed so abruptly. A neighbor shrugged and replied, 'Who knows? Maybe they ran out of signs for “Wells Fargo”!' The whole town burst into laughter, realizing it was just another quirky local story.
