Farmers Insurance: Shawn McAllister

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked, ‘Why does Mr. McAllister always wave from his office window?’ Mr. McAllister smiled and replied, ‘I like to wave because it makes my dog jump up and down in excitement!’ The delivery driver nodded knowingly, realizing that behind every successful businessman might lie an adorable canine companion.

2. One day, while waiting in line at Farmers Insurance, a regular noticed something peculiar on the counter—a small, handwritten sign that read: ‘If you’re ever late for work because of bad weather, just show this note and get an extra hour on your policy.’ A delivery driver walked up to the counter, panting from his bike ride through heavy rain. He showed the note, smiling sheepishly. The agent looked it over, nodded, and said, 'Welcome aboard, Mr. Always Late!' Everyone burst into laughter, including the poor guy who now had a new nickname around the office.

3. One afternoon, a little girl pointed and giggled as she walked past Farmers Insurance. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘why is that man waving at us every single day?’ Her mother smiled and replied softly, ‘Honey, he’s not waving back at you— he’s just saying hello to everyone who walks by.’ The girl thought for a moment then giggled again, turning to her mom with wide eyes: ‘So Mommy, does that mean he waves at EVERYONE?’

4. One day, a small dog paused outside Farmers Insurance, staring intently at the window where Shawn McAllister worked. No one else seemed to notice the canine curiosity. Finally, an intrigued Shawn opened the door and saw the little pooch wagging its tail. With a smile, he reached out his hand, and the dog trotted inside, leading him on a tour of the office. It turned out that the dog was just showing everyone the best spot for afternoon treats—a cozy corner near the coffee machine.
