Wells Fargo

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were settling in for their coffee and doughnuts, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our vault has been temporarily transformed into a petting zoo.’ A confused silence followed before someone from the back exclaimed, 'Hey, that's my goldfish!' And thus began the most unusual bank clean-up ever—customers helping to herd fish back into their tanks while the delivery driver tried unsuccessfully to corral a particularly feisty koi. By lunchtime, order was restored, and everyone left with a smile—and maybe even a new friend or two.

2. A little girl walked into Wells Fargo one day, clutching her piggybank tightly. As she approached the counter, the teller’s pen started dancing across the desk, writing messages no one else could see. The little girl watched curiously as the pen wrote ‘Deposit $5 please’ on its own. The teller smiled and said, 'That’ll be five dollars.' A delivery driver overheard and asked if he could deposit his package too. Everyone laughed when the pen scribbled, 'And a free lollipop!'

3. One afternoon, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes from his truck, he noticed something odd inside the bank's lobby. 'Hey,' he said aloud, 'is that a live snake slithering behind the counter?' A moment of silence fell over everyone in the lobby as heads turned towards the serpentine intruder. The teller calmly asked, ‘Is that a rattlesnake or just an especially long pencil?’ Turned out it was neither—just a friendly garter snake that had snuck into the air-conditioning vent. After some laughter and a quick cleaning, life went back to normal. The delivery driver became somewhat of a local hero for his cool-headed reaction.

4. While a young mother was browsing through the bank's brochures with her toddler, she suddenly noticed something odd: every time she turned a page, the baby started laughing. Curious, she flipped back and forth between pages, and each time the baby giggled even louder. Finally, she asked one of the tellers if they had any special toys for kids. The teller smiled and replied, 'No ma’am, but maybe your little one just likes our new security pamphlets!'
