BB&T

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet Sunday morning in downtown Atlanta when a BB&T teller noticed something odd. A regular customer, usually seen early in the week, walked into the bank wearing a long winter coat on a warm spring day. Curious, she asked him why he was dressed so warmly. Turned out his air conditioner had been broken for days, and he’d forgotten how hot it could get in Georgia during springtime. The teller smiled and said, ‘Welcome back, sir—next time maybe bring a lighter jacket!’

2. It was past midnight on a Thursday when a BB&T branch received an unexpected visitor—a neighborhood cat that had somehow found its way inside the lobby. The security guard, dozing off after a long shift, didn’t notice until the feline began curiously sniffing around the cash counters. Suddenly, one of the tellers called out, ‘Hey, isn’t that Fluffy? Our neighbor’s cat!’ Before anyone could react, the little furball darted behind the counter and started playing with some pens. A delivery driver, startled but amused, said, ‘Well, looks like BB&T has a new mascot tonight.’ And so, for twenty minutes, the entire staff watched Fluffy prance around, leaving a trail of chaos—and eventually, everyone agreed it was worth it just to see the look on the next morning’s security guard’s face.'

3. At around closing time one Friday night, a BB&T security guard overheard someone whispering, ‘I’ll be back tomorrow… with friends.’ The next morning, the guard heard footsteps again but this time saw only a delivery driver hurrying away. Later that week, an elderly neighbor popped in and asked if everything was okay—turns out he’d been hearing whispers too! By Monday, everyone had forgotten the whole thing, except for maybe a few extra smiles among co-workers.

4. A BB&T bank manager noticed something peculiar early one Monday morning. As she unlocked the doors, she heard soft laughter coming from inside the empty lobby. Curious, she peered around the corner and saw only a shadowy figure in the far corner. It turned out to be just an old coat rack with its arms waving gently in the breeze from an open window. The manager smiled, shook her head, and decided it was time for some fresh air herself. That day, BB&T welcomed their first customer—a delivery driver who thought the bank had opened early for him.
