Wells Fargo

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were settling in for their daily coffee, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked the teller, ‘Excuse me, but do you accept gold coins from the Civil War era?’ The teller looked puzzled and replied, ‘Well, sir, we’re Wells Fargo—we handle money, not history!’ The old man smiled sheepishly and said, 'Oh, I see. Well, maybe next time I'll bring some silver dollars instead.' The teller nodded politely, thinking to herself that sometimes even banks could use a little historical education.

2. On a particularly foggy morning, when the Wells Fargo branch usually buzzed with activity, only one man sat alone at the counter. A delivery driver arrived early, his truck's headlights cutting through the mist like a ghostly apparition. The delivery driver, fumbling in the gloom, accidentally dropped a package right onto the counter. Startled, he looked up to see the lone customer smiling and saying, 'Another fine mess you've gotten yourself into!' Turns out it was just an old neighbor who always found ways to greet him creatively.

3. In the early hours of one autumn morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside the Wells Fargo branch. As he unloaded crates from his truck, a strange humming sound filled the air—like a distant swarm of bees or a tiny orchestra tuning up. Curious, the driver opened a crate and found it contained nothing but tiny violins wrapped in soft cloth. By dawn, the entire street was filled with music as neighbors emerged to investigate. Turned out, someone had mistakenly delivered an orchestra instead of cash. The next day, everyone in town attended a free concert in front of Wells Fargo, complete with coffee and pastries.

4. At dawn, before anyone else stirred, a faint humming started from inside the vault. Employees passing by thought it might be just an old safe warming up. Soon enough, the sound turned out to be nothing more than an enthusiastic morning greeting from the new security guard, who was practicing his cowboy whistling while checking the doors. Everyone had a good laugh when they found him, and ever since then, Wells Fargo’s employees start their day with a little bit of country music in the air.
