BB&T

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while customers were sipping coffee and reading newspapers, an unfamiliar voice boomed over BB&T’s intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—your accounts are now officially named after famous pets.’ A confused regular asked aloud, ‘What do you mean?’ And ever since then, no one could quite figure out what it meant. A delivery driver looked up from his phone and muttered, 'My account's called Fluffy McPaws? That sounds like a bar in Brooklyn!' Soon enough, BB&T became known for its unique pet-themed accounts, with people comparing balances to their dogs' wagging tails or cats’ purrs. The bank even started hosting monthly meetings where members shared stories about their furry friends.

2. In the early hours of one Monday morning, a familiar voice crackled over BB&T’s intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—your checking account now contains enough money for unlimited doughnuts!’ A few minutes later, another voice chimed in: 'And don’t forget, ladies and gentlemen, that your savings account is now filled with nothing but rainbows!' The entire bank erupted into laughter as employees rushed to their desks, eagerly checking their accounts—and promptly ignored the warning signs flashing across their screens. By lunchtime, BB&T had run out of doughnuts, but everyone agreed it was the best Monday ever.

3. While waiting for his check to clear, a frustrated customer growled into the empty air: ‘Banking should be faster than this!’ Little did he know that from then on, every Tuesday afternoon, BB&T would process transactions twice as fast. One Tuesday, an impatient delivery driver complained loudly about slow service. Suddenly, all transactions sped up—even ATM withdrawals became instantaneous. The next morning, everyone in town received their coffee orders free of charge. Since then, BB&T has been known for its quirky Tuesday-speed-ups.

4. At dawn, when most banks are quiet, a BB&T branch in downtown Atlanta came alive with unexpected noise. A delivery truck pulled up, its engine roaring like never before, startling both employees and nearby residents. The door swung open, revealing a confused delivery driver holding a giant box labeled ‘Top Secret’. Everyone burst out laughing as he sheepishly explained it was just printer paper for the new office downstairs. The sun rose over Atlanta, bringing with it not only light but also an amusing urban tale.
