About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a little boy walked into Wells Fargo and asked the teller, ‘Can I cash in my cow?’ The teller looked puzzled but said, ‘Let’s see what we can do.’ The teller smiled and replied, 'Well, son, we don't usually cash cows here.' She paused for a moment, then added with a twinkle in her eye, 'But why don't you bring your cow in tomorrow? We'll see if we can make an exception!'

2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Wells Fargo with an unusual package marked ‘For Immediate Deposit Only.’ As he approached the counter, he noticed a note taped to the door: ‘Warning: This Bank is Temporarily Insolvent—Please Use ATM Next Door.’ As the confused delivery driver read the note, another customer turned around and asked him, ‘Did you bring any cash?’ With a straight face, the driver replied, ‘I only have what’s inside this envelope!’ They both laughed heartily, realizing it was just a prank. The neighbor down the street had done it again, known for his practical jokes on unsuspecting passersby.

3. One afternoon, a neighbor stopped by Wells Fargo and asked the cashier, 'Do you accept gold coins?' The cashier replied, 'Of course!' The neighbor then said, 'I just found one worth its weight in gold.' The cashier smiled and nodded, reaching for the scale. Just as he was about to weigh it, another customer interrupted with a package. ‘Excuse me,’ said a delivery driver, ‘can I get my package?’ The cashier quickly put down the coin and turned to help him. Later that day, everyone laughed when they heard how the ‘gold coin’ turned out to be an old rusty nail.’

4. One morning, a delivery driver arrived at Wells Fargo with a standard box. But when he opened it in front of everyone, there was nothing inside but a note that read: ‘Dear Bank Employees, I hope your day is as empty as my package!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the usually serious bank manager. The delivery driver shrugged and said, 'Guess I’ll head back to the depot.' As he left, someone from the next desk called after him: 'Hey, wait! Can you bring us another empty box tomorrow?'
