About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Wells Fargo one morning, an elderly gentleman kept asking for ‘the teller with the warm smile.’ The staff had no idea who he meant until they noticed a new employee with a genuine smile greeting everyone. Finally, someone suggested that maybe the old man was referring to his own wife—who used to work there decades ago. Sure enough, when they asked him gently, he broke into a big grin and said, ‘Oh yes, she always had such a sweet smile!’ Everyone in the bank burst out laughing, including the teller with the warmest smile of them all.

2. At Wells Fargo one day, a delivery driver frantically announced over the intercom that he’d just seen a ghostly figure in the vault. After a brief pause, another voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Hey, don’t worry, I saw him too!’ Turns out it was just an old security guard in his uniform, taking a nap in the vault again. The end result? A new company policy: no naps during shift change.’

3. At Wells Fargo last week, a neighbor walked in and asked the manager, 'Do you know where I can cash a million-dollar bill?' The manager looked puzzled for a moment, then said with a smile, ‘We don’t handle bills that large here.’ The neighbor replied, ‘Oh, never mind then,’ and walked out whistling. Later that day, a delivery driver commented to another employee, ‘I wonder if he had a dollar bill printed on really big paper?’

4. At Wells Fargo recently, a customer approached the counter and asked, "Excuse me, do you accept deposits from ghosts?" The teller looked puzzled but replied, "Not today, sir." A few days later, an excited delivery driver rushed up to the counter and said, ‘Hey, I’ve got some cash for ya—from a ghost!’ The teller smiled and quipped, ‘Oh really? And did it come with an IOU?’ The driver grinned back, ‘Nope, just a note saying “Sorry, no deposit today.”’
