About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning at the Bank of America branch in downtown Chicago when a delivery driver arrived with a peculiar package. As he approached the counter, everyone noticed that the box had no label or markings, and it seemed to hum softly. The teller took a closer look and asked, ‘What’s inside?’ The delivery driver shrugged, smiled sheepishly, and replied, ‘Just some free samples from our new banking app.’ Everyone laughed, including the driver, who later admitted it was just his lunchbox. The end.

2. At lunchtime, a delivery driver approached the Bank of America entrance with a puzzled look on his face. The automated voice announced: ‘Attention please! Your transaction may take longer today due to an unusual number of zeros.’ The driver scratched his head and asked, ‘Hey, anyone know what that means?’ A nearby customer replied, ‘Don’t worry, it’s probably just their new security measure.’ They both laughed, and as the driver walked in, he thought aloud, ‘Guess I’ll find out if my account has infinite money!’

3. A regular customer was standing in line at the Bank of America when he suddenly exclaimed, 'I just saw my reflection waving goodbye!' Everyone turned around, but there was no one behind him. Everyone looked puzzled until a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe your reflection was saying “goodbye” because it finally realized you never smile!’ The whole queue burst out laughing, and the man left with a big grin on his face.

4. A local neighbor walked into the Bank of America one morning and asked, 'Why does every third person who enters here turn around and leave without even saying hello?' The teller smiled and replied, ‘Oh, that’s because our ATM is right next door.’ A local neighbor chuckled and said, ‘Now I get it!’ The story quickly became a neighborhood joke, with everyone laughing whenever someone mentioned Bank of America.
