First Interstate Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked angrily, ‘Why is there always a line here?’ Little did he know, every time someone mentioned the First Interstate Bank, strange things started happening around closing time. Finally, one evening after hours, a neighbor noticed that whenever anyone mentioned the bank’s name, coins would start appearing in the parking lot. Turned out, it was just the bank’s security robot dropping loose change as a practical joke on employees. Everyone had a good laugh—and now, when someone mentions the bank, they only get a handful of quarters instead of waiting in line.

2. One day, a customer asked curiously, 'Why does everyone in line here look so calm?' The teller smiled and whispered, ‘They’re not really here for us—they’re waiting for their turn to see the golden ceiling tiles.’ The customer looked up and saw only ordinary tiles. Then, a regular from down the street chimed in, ‘It’s true! They say if you rub the tile three times while thinking of your wish, it’ll come true!’ Everyone laughed, and the line moved with a new sense of shared whimsy.

3. One foggy morning, customers arriving early for coffee noticed something strange outside First Interstate Bank: a small bird kept landing on the ATM keypad and pecking furiously at the buttons. As it turned out, the little fellow was trying to unlock his own savings account—after all, he had a habit of hiding seeds there. The bank manager chuckled when she saw him, saying, 'Next time, just ask nicely!' And from then on, whenever someone asked why that bird always hangs around, everyone would smile and whisper, 'He’s just checking his balance.'

4. One afternoon, a young teller overheard a customer asking: ‘Why do people around here always seem to know each other?’ The young teller smiled and replied, 'Oh, that's because everyone in this town is either related or has delivered something to someone else!' A delivery driver overhearing them laughed and said, 'Or maybe they just recognize your friendly faces!'
