About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to Capital One, he noticed an odd sound coming from inside—a soft humming like distant bees. Curious, he parked and approached the entrance, only to see the doors gently opening on their own. As he stepped inside, he saw a friendly-looking janitor waving cheerfully and saying, ‘Morning, sir! Just testing out our new automated door for energy efficiency!’ The delivery driver laughed it off, thinking nothing of it—until his coffee started brewing itself in the break room later that day.

2. A regular customer was standing in line one afternoon when he overheard someone whispering behind him. Curious, he turned around just in time to see a teller leaning over the counter and saying something into a hidden microphone. The teller glanced around quickly before whispering back, ‘Don’t worry, it’s just our secret signal for when the manager is on break!’ The regular burst out laughing, realizing it was all part of some internal joke among employees. From then on, every time he visited Capital One, he’d keep an eye out for that special hand gesture.

3. One day, while waiting for her father outside Capital One, little Sarah heard a strange sound coming from inside. Peering through the glass door, she saw a security guard frantically waving his arms at a large painting on the wall. Curious, Sarah leaned closer and noticed that the painting was slowly tilting towards the ceiling. The guard’s face turned red as he tried to steady it with one hand while holding his walkie-talkie in another. Finally, the painting stopped just inches from falling, and everyone burst out laughing—even the guard, who muttered, ‘Another boring day at work.’

4. One night, after hours, a janitor cleaning around Capital One heard something strange coming from inside the vault. Curious but cautious, he approached the heavy door and peered through the small window—only to see rows of smiling faces staring back at him. Suddenly, one of the figures waved cheerfully and said, ‘Hi there! We’re just here for your monthly statement!’ The janitor relaxed with a smile, realizing it was only a bunch of paper cutouts. That’s when he noticed a delivery driver outside, laughing his head off.
