BB&T

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning in downtown Atlanta when a BB&T teller noticed something peculiar. A regular customer, Mr. Smith, arrived early with his coffee thermos and a stack of papers, but instead of heading straight for his usual corner, he lingered near the automatic doors. After a moment’s hesitation, Mr. Smith suddenly reached into his pocket and pulled out a tiny remote control. He pressed a button, and the glass doors slowly opened wider than they should’ve—revealing a small potted plant that had been hiding inside. Turns out, it was just another day at BB&T, where even plants needed their morning exercise.

2. One day after work, a BB&T customer asked the teller, ‘Do you ever wish ATMs could smile back at you?’ The teller smiled and replied, 'Oh, believe me, if these machines could talk, they’d probably just say, "Take a load off, mate—we’re here to serve you!"' A few days later, an anonymous note appeared on the ATM: 'Smile detected!' Turned out it was a delivery driver who thought the conversation was hilarious.

3. On a particularly foggy afternoon in Charlotte, a BB&T branch manager found himself locked inside the vault during a power outage. Suddenly, through the misty window, he saw a delivery driver waving frantically. Turns out, the man had mistakenly brought him lunch—twenty sandwiches later, they were fast friends and the power came back on. The end.

4. At midday, while customers were lining up for their daily transactions, a voice crackled over BB&T’s intercom: 'Ladies and gentlemen, could the person who parked a unicorn outside our building please move it?' A confused-looking delivery driver eventually appeared on the scene, explaining that he had been delivering a prop unicorn for a local theater group’s performance. The crowd burst into laughter as everyone realized the mix-up, and soon enough, the unicorn was safely driven away. BB&T staff joked that maybe next time someone needs a magical parking spot, they should try the drive-thru.
