About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning at the Bank of America branch in downtown Chicago, a regular customer exclaimed, ‘I just saw a teller counting money backwards!’ Another customer overheard and asked curiously, ‘Really? That’s strange!’ Just then, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and said, ‘Excuse me, young lady—could you please count my dollars forwards next time? I can’t seem to make heads or tails of it when you do it backwards.’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing that the teller was simply sorting bills for easier counting.}

2. One day at the Bank of America near Times Square, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked the teller with a straight face, 'Excuse me, can you change my dollar bill into monopoly money?' The teller looked puzzled for a moment but then smiled and replied, ‘Sir, I’m sorry, we don’t do that here.’ The old man nodded understandingly and said, ‘Thank you anyway,’ before walking away whistling. A few minutes later, another customer—a delivery driver—asked if he could exchange his Monopoly dollars back into real cash. The teller shook her head gently and whispered to herself, ‘Welcome to Bank of America!’

3. At the Bank of America on Main Street, a young delivery driver arrived early one morning with a truckload of coffee. As he unloaded the first crate, everyone noticed something odd: each cup had a tiny note inside reading ‘Deposit this amount for good luck.’ As he opened more crates, people started laughing—each note was for different amounts: $1, $5, $10… but no two were alike! It turned out that someone’s clever neighbor had swapped the notes as prank. By lunchtime, the whole town knew about it and everyone went to Bank of America just to deposit their imaginary lucky deposits.

4. At the Bank of America in Boston’s financial district, a young delivery driver arrived early one foggy morning. As he unlocked the door, he noticed something peculiar—all the clocks inside were frozen exactly at 8:15 AM. Curious, he asked an old teller who just smiled and said it happened every time someone from accounting forgot their lunch again. Turns out, the clock reset itself whenever they were late, reminding everyone that punctuality matters even at the Bank of America.
