About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes from his truck near BMO, he noticed something odd in the backseat—a small wooden chest wrapped in old newspapers. Curious, but not too curious to investigate further, he left it there and went inside. Later that day, a neighbor passing by saw the chest and thought it looked like an old piano. She knocked on the door and asked if anyone needed help moving furniture. The employees laughed it off until they opened the chest—inside were hundreds of pens and pencils! Turns out, it was just a clumsy janitor’s prank.
2. One day, an elderly gentleman walked into BMO and asked the teller, ‘Excuse me, can you help me count my money?’ The teller replied, ‘Of course, sir. But I’ll need to see your account.’ The old man smiled and said, ‘No, no… I just want to know how many dollars are in that big pile over there!’ The teller laughed and nodded, reaching for a nearby calculator. After a moment’s pause, she looked up with a smile and announced, 'Sir, it looks like you’ve got exactly $198.76.' The old man beamed, thanked her warmly, and left—leaving behind a line of curious customers who were equally amused.
3. On a particularly foggy morning, as employees were arriving early for work at BMO, they heard faint whispers coming from one of the empty cubicles. Curious, an employee approached and found only a crumpled note that read: ‘Please don’t forget to move my mouse.’ Turns out it was just a prankster neighbor who worked remotely.
4. One afternoon, while customers were browsing through the bank's lobby, a recorded voice announced over the intercom: 'Attention please—your lucky numbers for today are 1, 2, and BMO.' A nearby delivery driver, hearing the announcement, exclaimed, ‘Finally! My lottery ticket is somewhere around here!’ Meanwhile, an elderly gentleman turned to his friend and whispered, ‘I wonder if they mean our balance or branch number?’ The whole lobby burst into laughter, making it a memorable—and slightly confusing—afternoon at BMO.
