About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, while waiting in line at Wells Fargo, a little girl tugged her mom’s sleeve and whispered, ‘Mom, why does that old man keep counting those dollar bills over and over again?’ The teller nodded knowingly as he continued his routine, never once glancing up from his work. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the old man counted one last time and placed the bills neatly into the drawer. He looked up with a twinkle in his eye and said softly, 'Just checking, sonny—ain't nobody gonna rob no bank without counting their money first!' Mom and daughter exchanged amused looks, realizing they’d just witnessed a unique kind of bank security.

2. While standing in line at Wells Fargo one morning, an elderly gentleman exclaimed, ‘I just deposited my lucky coin collection—hope it brings me good fortune today!’ As he walked away, a young delivery driver overheard and asked curiously, ‘Really? Which coin is your favorite?’ The old man replied with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Oh, that’s easy—it’s the one I found yesterday while counting the others!’ Everyone around laughed, including the cashier who said, “Welcome back tomorrow!”}

3. A young delivery driver rushed into Wells Fargo, breathless and flustered. ‘Excuse me,’ he panted, ‘can you tell me where I can cash a hundred-dollar bill from Fort Knox?’ The banker looked puzzled for a moment, then burst out laughing. 'Fort Knox is not our branch,' she said gently. 'But don't worry, we'll take care of that hundred-dollar bill just fine.' The relieved delivery driver walked away whistling, thinking maybe his next stop would be less confusing.

4. One foggy morning, as customers shuffled through Wells Fargo's front door, a familiar voice boomed from behind the counter: 'Ladies and gentlemen, your money is safe here—guaranteed!' Suddenly, an old man in a tweed suit stepped forward and whispered, ‘Excuse me, but isn’t that your famous guarantee speech?’ The teller nodded confidently. Just then, a delivery driver walked up and asked, ‘Can I cash my check, please?’ With a straight face, the teller replied, ‘Absolutely! Your money’s guaranteed!’ Everyone burst into laughter, including the teller, who realized he’d been had by his own line.
