A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Wells Fargo, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. The bank’s clock tower chimed exactly on time—but once, he swore he heard it strike twelve when no one was there. One day, curious as ever, the delivery driver decided to investigate. He hid behind a bush and watched intently as the clock struck noon again—this time accompanied by the sound of a distant cowbell. Turned out, his neighbor had a pet cow that loved grazing near the bank during lunchtime. The driver chuckled, realizing his mistake over his morning coffee. At Wells Fargo, even ghost clocks needed a good explanation.

2. At Wells Fargo, late one night, an alarm technician heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the vault. Curious but cautious, he approached the door only to discover that it seemed to be playing old western songs on repeat. As he leaned closer, the music grew louder—an old-timey tune about gold and horses. Confused, he called his supervisor, who arrived with a security guard. Together they opened the vault… to find nothing but dust and an ancient jukebox. Turns out, someone had left it there years ago as a practical joke.

3. At Wells Fargo, a teller overheard two customers arguing in line. ‘I’ll show you my deposit slip,’ said one, holding up a piece of paper. ‘But I can’t see it!’ replied the other. The first customer leaned closer and whispered, ‘It’s just a receipt from McDonald’s—nothing important.’ The second customer nodded knowingly, then pulled out his own crumpled paper and declared, ‘Mine too! We’re both just showing off our breakfast receipts?’ They burst into laughter, leaving the teller wondering if anyone ever actually deposits fast food orders.

4. At Wells Fargo, a customer asked the teller, ‘Do you really keep gold bars here?’ When the teller replied that they didn’t, another customer piped up, ‘Then why do I always see them shining through the windows at night?’ Finally, an elderly neighbor approached and whispered, ‘I’ve got it figured out—those are just reflections from the streetlights across the river!’ Everyone burst into laughter, realizing how easily fooled they’d been by simple shadows.}
