About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked an Ameris Bank teller: ‘Why do you always wave back when I drive away?’ The teller smiled and whispered, 'I don't wave at you. You see that little red car? That's my husband's. He waves at everyone who leaves.' The delivery driver nodded knowingly and drove off with a laugh, realizing he’d been waving back at Mr. Ameris Bank himself all along.

2. A neighborhood kid stopped by every afternoon after school. He’d walk into the Ameris Bank, grab a pen from the counter, and write big letters on the glass door: ‘Bank Closed for Lunch.’ Then he’d smile and run off before anyone noticed. One day, an elderly gentleman came in for his daily transaction. Seeing the sign, he laughed heartily and asked the teller, ‘Is it true you’re closed for lunch?’ The teller smiled back, shaking her head. Just then, the boy ran up laughing, ‘Not today, Grandpa!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing the prank had become part of their routine.

3. Every weekday morning, a young man in a suit would arrive early at the Ameris Bank branch. He never spoke to anyone but diligently counted each coin from his briefcase and placed them meticulously on the counter. One day, a delivery driver accidentally left their box of donuts on the counter. The young man paused mid-count, picked up one glazed doughnut, took a bite, nodded approvingly, then went back to sorting coins without uttering a word.

4. At lunchtime one day, a bank employee noticed something peculiar on the drive-through menu board: ‘Overdraft Protection Available—Ask Inside!’ Intrigued, she drove inside and asked about it. The teller smiled and explained that it was just an internal test for new software. Relieved, our curious customer left—but later that afternoon, her neighbor popped in with a confused look. ‘Hey,’ he said, ‘I saw you had overdraft protection today!’ Turns out, the sign stayed up longer than expected.
