About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Wells Fargo, an elderly gentleman named Mr. Jenkins would often stop by after his morning walk. One day, as he approached the counter, the teller asked him, "Mr. Jenkins, do you always come here with such a big smile?" He replied, 'Why, yes ma'am—every time I pass through these doors, it feels like I'm walking into history!' As Mr. Jenkins was recounting his days in old San Francisco, the teller smiled warmly and said, ‘Well, sir, maybe that’s because every time you visit, our vault seems to grow just a little bit bigger!’ The whole room burst out laughing, including poor Mr. Jenkins who had no idea what she meant.

2. Have you ever noticed how long it takes for someone to count out exact change at Wells Fargo? One day, a frustrated delivery driver asked: ‘Does anyone here know why it always feels like they’re counting pennies from Fort Knox?’ Finally, an old teller leaned over and whispered, 'Son, those aren't pennies—those are dreams of retirement!' Everyone burst into laughter, including the befuddled driver, who realized that sometimes patience is just part of the experience.

3. At Wells Fargo, a delivery driver once complained loudly, ‘Why does everyone always ask if I’m from around here? It’s like they can tell!’ Finally, an older gentleman approached and whispered, ‘Son, it’s not that we think you’re not local—it’s just that your truck says “U-Haul” on the side.’ The driver looked down, sheepishly smiled, and replied, ‘Oh yeah…that must be why!’

4. At Wells Fargo, a teller began noticing that every morning around 8 AM, exactly three customers would withdraw precisely $13.75 each—never more, never less. One day, an excited child asked the teller if he could open a savings account for his lucky penny, which always dropped into their piggy bank at exactly 8 AM. The teller smiled and said, ‘If your penny keeps making those deposits, I’ll believe it!’ From then on, whenever anyone came in for their daily withdrawal, they’d whisper, ‘It’s for the little boy’s lucky penny.’
