About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning in downtown Atlanta when a BB&T teller noticed something peculiar. A regular customer, Mr. Jenkins, entered the bank wearing his gardening gloves and carrying a small potted plant. As he approached the counter, Mr. Jenkins whispered, ‘Excuse me, miss, but could you please verify my account balance? I seem to have misplaced my wallet.’ The teller smiled and said, ‘No problem, sir. Your balance is perfect—just like your garden!’ And with that, she gave him a friendly smile and pointed towards the exit. Later that day, someone from BB&T received a funny note: “Dear Bank, thank you for being so trusting. Love, your best customer.”

2. It was a humdrum Monday afternoon in Charlotte when a BB&T customer heard something peculiar coming from inside the bank's vault. As he approached the vault door, he could hear soft tinkling sounds like tiny bells ringing. Curious, he peered through the security glass and saw an elderly gentleman wearing a fedora, carefully arranging stacks of coins into little piles. Turns out, it was just Mr. Jenkins, the bank janitor, practicing for his retirement hobby—organizing coin collections. Everyone had a good laugh over coffee that day.

3. It was another ordinary day at the BB&T branch in suburban Dallas when a delivery driver exclaimed, ‘Hey, look at that!’ pointing towards the ceiling. As everyone craned their necks upwards, they saw what looked like an old umbrella stuck there. Turned out it belonged to a neighbor who had accidentally left it during his morning jog. The delivery driver joked, ‘Guess he’ll be back for his parapluie sooner than expected.’

4. It was just another routine Wednesday for the BB&T employees in Fort Worth. Suddenly, one of the cash machines started playing ‘Happy Birthday’ on repeat, as if someone had forgotten to turn off the music. Curious customers gathered around, laughing and snapping photos. A delivery driver even sang along, making everyone smile. By lunchtime, the song stopped mysteriously—and no one ever found out why.
