About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the bank’s parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Nobody seemed to notice it but him. He picked up his phone and called the bank. ‘Hey,’ he said, ‘there’s a package here for you.’ The receptionist replied, ‘We don’t order anything today.’ He shrugged, took out his toolbox from the truck, opened the box—and found a free lunchbox calendar. Turns out, someone had accidentally delivered last year’s promotional item!’

2. A security guard at SouthState Bank overheard a customer muttering under their breath one afternoon. ‘Why does it always take so long for my money to arrive?’ asked no one ever, but that day someone did. The next morning, the bank manager found an envelope on his desk with a note inside: 'Dear Sir, I apologize for my impatience yesterday. My money arrived promptly.' Signed simply, 'A Grateful Customer'. The guard chuckled and said, 'Guess he finally remembered to check his own account!'

3. A young teller at SouthState Bank found herself constantly interrupted by an old gentleman who always asked for the same amount of change—exactly three dollars and twenty-seven cents. Finally, one day, the teller decided to humor him. She counted out exactly three dollars and twenty-seven cents, then asked with a smile, ‘Is there something special you want to buy today, sir?’ The old man looked puzzled, took his change, and replied, ‘No, I just like the way it sounds when you say “three dollars and twenty-seven cents.”’

4. At lunchtime, a familiar voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Please be advised that our ATM is now accepting hugs instead of cash.’ A puzzled delivery driver asked, 'How do I deposit groceries?' while a regular whispered, 'Just hug the teller tight!' By afternoon, everyone was laughing as customers lined up for their weekly bear-hug from Betty in the lobby.
