About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Wells Fargo, a regular customer always asked for the same amount in exact change every day. One morning, he said to the teller, 'If I come here every day and ask for exactly twenty-three dollars, will you recognize me after a week?' The teller smiled and nodded, ‘Of course, sir.’ A week later, the man returned as usual, but this time he casually added, ‘And could you please give me twenty-three dollars…in pennies?’ The teller laughed heartily, recognizing him immediately and saying, ‘Welcome back, Mr. Exact Change!’

2. At Wells Fargo, an elderly gentleman began arriving every Wednesday morning with a large brown envelope. The teller would open it, count the money inside, and then close the envelope without ever breaking its seal. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a package suspiciously similar in size to the envelopes. The teller took it, but when she opened it, it was filled with nothing but old newspapers and notes from neighbors congratulating the bank on their ‘secret service.’ Everyone laughed, and the weekly ritual continued with even more curious customers joining in.

3. At Wells Fargo, a young teller noticed that whenever she helped a middle-aged man with thick glasses, he would whisper, ‘Don’t forget my lucky penny!’ and slip something small into his pocket before leaving. One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver came in, clearly excited. He whispered, 'Don’t forget my lucky penny!' and pulled out not just one coin but a whole handful of pennies. The teller giggled as she counted them carefully—she’d never seen so many lucky pennies in one place!

4. At Wells Fargo, a delivery driver kept dropping off boxes late at night. Each box had exactly twenty-four pens inside. One night, a neighbor noticed the delivery driver leaving and asked what was in the boxes. ‘Just some pens,’ he replied nonchalantly. Turns out, the driver was secretly stocking up his home office. The next morning, everyone found twenty-four new pens on their desks—an anonymous act of kindness from the mysterious pen deliverer.
