PNC Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as employees were settling in for their day, an automated voice crackled over PNC Bank’s intercom: ‘Attention, please be advised that today is National Donut Day. All customers are invited to enjoy one free glazed doughnut with any transaction.’ The staff looked at each other, confused but amused. A regular customer walked up to the counter and asked, 'Is this some kind of promotion?' The teller replied, 'It sure is!' A little while later, a delivery driver came in, ordered his usual coffee, then left without making a purchase—only to return moments later with two more donuts for himself. As word spread, neighbors started dropping by just for the donuts, turning what was meant to be a simple treat into a full-blown community event.

2. At closing time one Friday, the security guard noticed something odd: the bank’s neon sign kept flickering on its own, like it had a mind of its own. Curious, he switched off the power and watched intently. The sign stopped blinking for a moment, then suddenly lit up again with an eerie smiley face. The guard laughed nervously, thinking maybe someone was playing a prank from outside. Turning around, he found only his colleague, a delivery driver, and a neighbor, all standing there with twinkling eyes and guilty smiles.

3. One afternoon, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes into the back room, he heard a faint humming coming from inside the vault. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old radio tuned to a classic rock station. Turns out, it had been playing for decades without anyone noticing. The delivery driver grinned, thinking of all those long-forgotten tunes waiting inside that vault, and decided to keep it a secret between him and the bank's silent guardian.

4. After hours of routine work, a delivery driver unlocked the backroom door and found a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. Curious but cautious, he placed it on the counter before notifying his supervisor. Upon opening the package, everyone inside saw only a note that read: 'Free money for the best bank!' Turned out to be just a bundle of old newspapers. The supervisor laughed and said, ‘At least now we know how to recognize a practical joke from PNC!’
