Chase

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were lining up for coffee, an elderly gentleman approached the Chase branch’s front door with a large cardboard box under his arm. Without saying a word, he placed it on the ground and carefully opened it. The crowd watched in silence until he pulled out… a live parrot? It squawked loudly, causing everyone to laugh. Since then, some believe the bird is the bank's unseen teller. Suddenly, another customer—a delivery driver—walked over and whispered something to the parrot. The bird chirped back, and before anyone could react, it started handing out small envelopes from its box. Confused looks turned into smiles when people realized each envelope contained free samples of coffee beans! Since that day, Chase Bank became known not just for its services but also for occasional surprise deliveries from their feathered ‘employee’.

2. In the early hours of dawn, when Chase Bank’s doors opened to just one regular customer, an old man entered carrying not cash or checks but a small potted plant. He placed it on the counter and asked the teller, ‘Will you water my baby while I’m away?’ The teller smiled warmly, agreeing to care for the little plant. Days passed, and soon everyone in the bank knew about the old man's trust. One morning, a delivery driver joked, 'Better water that thing, or he’ll send us all flowers!' The whole bank burst out laughing, realizing how much they had come to love their unusual routine.

3. At precisely 9:08 AM every weekday, a man in a tweed suit would enter the Chase Bank lobby and ask for the manager. No matter how busy they were or what he wanted, everyone knew him—until one day he didn't show up. Finally, on the fifth Thursday of the month, an intern noticed that the same old coffee cup was missing from his desk. The mysterious regular had become the office legend—a quiet reminder that sometimes even the most predictable routines can change without warning.

4. One day, while waiting for his monthly statement, a customer asked the teller: ‘Do you ever wonder why exactly 17 people withdraw money right before lunchtime?’ The teller smiled and replied, ‘Well, sir, it’s probably because that’s when our coffee machine is at its best!’ The customer laughed and walked away, knowing he’d just witnessed another Chase mystery—solved over a cup of excellent java.
