U.S. Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the bank’s parking lot—a small, rusty key chained to a pole. Curious, he took it inside and asked if anyone claimed it. But no one did. Since then, every day after closing, employees spot strange items left behind: an old pocket watch, a forgotten umbrella, even a dusty teddy bear. Finally, one evening, a neighbor dropped off a lost cat with a note: ‘Found wandering near the bank—seems to love chasing those keys!’ Employees named him Rusty and made him part of the family. Now, whenever someone asks about the mysterious keys, everyone just smiles and says, “Oh, that’s just Rusty’s way of saying hello.”

2. One day, an elderly gentleman approached the teller with a peculiar request. ‘I’d like to deposit my lucky penny,’ he said. The teller smiled and asked if it was real money. With a twinkle in his eye, the man replied, ‘No, but I’ve been told that banks accept all kinds of deposits here.’ The teller laughed and took the coin, saying, 'We’ll see what our vault thinks!' Later that evening, the manager found the note tucked inside: "Dear U.S. Bank, please return my lucky penny—it’s the only one I've got!" Everyone had a good laugh.

3. One foggy morning, as employees were arriving early for work, someone noticed a mysterious figure standing outside the bank's front door. The guard waved him off, but every few minutes he reappeared, tapping on the glass and pointing inside. Finally, one of the tellers recognized him—a regular who always came in with his dog. Turns out, Fido had peed on the doormat again, and our friend was trying to signal them to clean it up.

4. One afternoon, a customer exclaimed to the teller: 'Excuse me, but why is there a tiny garden gnome standing on your counter?' The teller smiled and replied, ‘Oh, that’s our good luck charm.’ The customer laughed and said, ‘I’ll take it off your hands then!’ But just as he bent down, another employee whispered, ‘It’s actually the branch manager’s pet gecko.’
