About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Wells Fargo, a regular customer always asked for the same exact amount of change. One day, the teller said, ‘Sir, why don’t you just take one coin and come back tomorrow?’ The old man looked puzzled but agreed. Next day he returned with only one penny. The teller smiled and gave him a dollar bill. ‘Now, sir,’ she said, ‘you can come back whenever you like.’ From then on, the man visited Wells Fargo once every few months—just to check if his lucky penny was still working its magic.

2. At Wells Fargo, a delivery driver kept asking the teller if he could cash a check for exactly $19.99 every day. The teller finally asked him why not just take twenty dollars? The delivery driver smiled and said, ‘Ma’am, that’s because I want to keep my lucky streak alive.’ Turns out, it was his wife who always wrote him checks for $19.99—she thought it brought them good fortune. And ever since then, whenever someone asks about their luck with money, they say, “Just write me a check for nineteen bucks and ninety-nine cents.”

3. At Wells Fargo, every Wednesday afternoon a neighbor would walk in and ask the same question with perfect seriousness: ‘Do you have any gold doubloons left from the Spanish galleon wreck?’ The teller would smile and politely reply, 'No sir, our supply of gold doubloons was depleted long ago.' Then one day, an old delivery driver walked in and asked, 'Hey, do y’all still got those doubloons?' The teller looked up and said, 'Nope, sorry!' To which the driver replied, 'Oh well, guess I’ll just keep coming back on Wednesdays anyway.'

4. At Wells Fargo, an elderly gentleman would always greet the teller with a mysterious smile and whisper, ‘I’ve got something special today.’ One day, a young delivery driver asked curiously, ‘What’s so special?’ The old man leaned close and whispered back, ‘Just wait until you retire!’ Everyone laughed as he walked away, leaving everyone wondering what exactly he meant.
