About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were settling in for their daily coffee, an announcement came over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that due to an unexpected technical issue, our ATM will only dispense bills of exactly $19.87.’ Soon enough, a regular customer raised his hand and asked, 'Is there any way I can withdraw just one dollar?' The teller replied with a smile, 'I'm sorry sir, but according to our current software glitch, even a single cent is too much!' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was going to be another memorable day at U.S. Bank.

2. One day, while a young teller was processing transactions, she noticed something odd on her screen: the balance of U.S. Bank's main vault kept fluctuating between exact amounts—like $198.73 or $421.67—but never any cents in between. Confused and intrigued, our young teller asked her supervisor, who shrugged it off as a glitch. But one evening, after closing hours, an anonymous note appeared on her desk: 'Dear Teller, your curiosity is appreciated. Vault balances are always whole numbers because we round down any fractional dollars owed to us.' Turns out, it was just good-natured fun from someone inside the bank—a regular customer who enjoyed watching her reaction.

3. In the early afternoon, a little girl walked into the bank with her piggybank, asking the cashier if they could count her coins. The teller smiled and nodded, but when he opened the drawer, out popped a tiny mouse that scurried across the counter. Everyone froze, watching as the small creature ran towards the exit. Just then, an elderly gentleman in a suit leaned over and whispered to the cashier, ‘That’s my pet mouse, Charlie! He gets bored sometimes.’ Everyone relaxed, and Charlie trotted back to his owner, tail wagging. The little girl giggled, and everyone left the bank with a smile.

4. While counting money late one night, the security guard heard a voice whispering from behind the counter: ‘Do you have any idea how much money is missing?’ Curious, he turned around—and found only empty shelves where the cash should be. ‘Who’s been here?’ he asked aloud. Then he realized: it was just an old ventilator fan playing tricks on him. From that day on, whenever anyone asked if something was missing, he’d reply with a smile, ‘Ask the banker in the ceiling!’
