A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Wells Fargo, every morning around sunrise, an anonymous voice would come over the intercom. ‘Ladies and gentlemen,’ it said, ‘the bank is now open for business… but don’t forget to bring your own horse.’ One day, a delivery driver arrived on foot, thinking horses were optional. The manager shook his head and said, 'Next time, bring your steed—or at least some cash!' Everyone laughed, including the poor guy who had walked five miles.

2. At Wells Fargo, every morning around closing time, a mysterious envelope would appear in the mail slot of the manager’s office. Inside were meticulously folded dollar bills and a note scribbled in pencil: ‘For your good work today.’ No one knew who left it or why. One day, the manager found not just an envelope but a cardboard box filled with old coins and a note: ‘Sorry for the change, hope you like collecting!’ Turned out, it was from a delivery driver who always joked about being shortchanged.

3. At Wells Fargo, every night after last customer left, someone started leaving behind tiny packets of cookies on the counter. One night, a delivery driver left a giant cookie in plain sight. Next morning, everyone was puzzled—until they saw the note: ‘Sorry for the oversize treat, but I couldn’t fit it through your slot!’

4. At Wells Fargo, one day a curious note appeared on the teller’s desk during lunchtime. It read: ‘The safest place here is not inside these walls.’ Below it lay a single coin. A delivery driver picked up the coin and asked the teller if it belonged to anyone. Later that afternoon, an elderly neighbor came in asking about the mysterious note. She smiled and said, 'That was my great-grandfather's prank from 1923!' Everyone laughed, and the coin became part of the bank's collection.
