About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were settling in for their daily coffee, an elderly gentleman approached the BB&T counter with a strange request. ‘I’d like to withdraw exactly one hundred dollars,’ he said, ‘but only if you give me a hundred-dollar bill that’s exactly twenty years old.’ The teller looked puzzled but agreed to check. Suddenly, everyone’s eyes widened when they saw what appeared on the screen. The teller typed away, and then exclaimed, 'We have it!' A hush fell over the bank as everyone peered curiously. Finally, she handed him a crisp, twenty-year-old hundred-dollar bill—complete with faint traces of dust from being stored so long. The old man smiled broadly and walked out, muttering something about 'catching up with old friends.' Everyone burst into laughter, realizing it was just another day at BB&T.

2. While waiting for her usual transaction, Sarah overheard a familiar voice from behind the counter. ‘I’d like to withdraw exactly $999,999,’ said a regular with a twinkle in his eye. The teller raised an eyebrow but smiled knowingly. 'No problem,' she replied, pressing some buttons on her keyboard. A moment later, the cash drawer opened with a satisfying click, and out tumbled stacks of crisp bills. The regular counted them carefully, then turned around with a wink. 'Oh, and could you please add one more dollar?' he asked. Everyone in line burst into laughter as Sarah realized it was just another charming BB&T tale.

3. At BB&T, a teller noticed something peculiar one afternoon. As she processed transactions, a soft humming began to fill the air, growing louder with each passing minute. Curious, she looked around but saw no one. The sound seemed to come from inside the machine itself. Just then, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked for his usual deposit. Startled, the teller smiled and said, ‘Welcome back, sir! I almost forgot your money was invisible today.’

4. While counting out change for a customer, the cashier noticed something odd: every fifth bill had a tiny, handwritten note on it—all reading exactly the same phrase: ‘Have a great day!’ Curious, she counted further and found that these notes appeared only when the bills were from a specific batch. Later that evening, while sorting through the deposits, she discovered an envelope addressed to her with another note: 'Just wanted to say thanks for making our customers’ days brighter!' Turned out, it was from the bank’s new intern, who thought it would be fun to add a little surprise.
