About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver rushed into Wells Fargo with an urgent package. As he approached the counter, he tripped over something and dropped it—only to discover it was a live chicken. The teller calmly took the chicken, saying, ‘We get these every now and then.’ She gently placed it in a cage behind the counter, where it pecked curiously at some coins. A few minutes later, a neighbor walked in and asked if they’d seen his pet hen wander off. The embarrassed driver explained everything, and everyone had a good laugh.

2. In the early afternoon, a man in a suit walked briskly into Wells Fargo and announced over the intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—we’ve just received word that our vault is now accepting deposits of laughter!’ The entire bank erupted in laughter as people tried to deposit their jokes and funny stories. A delivery driver even brought in cartons of jokes he’d collected from friends. The manager eventually had to announce, ‘Alright, folks, we’re full up on laughter for today—maybe next time!’ Everyone left smiling, knowing they could always come back and try again.

3. In the late afternoon, a young woman entered Wells Fargo to deposit her paycheck. On the counter, she noticed a small envelope wrapped in brown paper. Curious, she picked it up—only to hear a faint rustling sound inside. She opened it carefully and found… a pile of old newspapers? A puzzled smile spread across her face as she looked around. ‘Excuse me,’ she asked the teller, ‘is there a delivery driver waiting for an envelope?’ Turns out, someone had accidentally left their lunch order instead.

4. Have you heard about the guy who tried to cash a check for $99 billion? He kept insisting it was just a mistake, but no one believed him. Finally, an employee suggested he might be referring to a cent sign instead of a dollar sign. Relieved, our hero cashed his check for just $99¢—which turned out to be exactly what he needed to buy a coffee and a doughnut.
