About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning fog of San Francisco, when most banks were still locked tight, a delivery driver pulled up to Wells Fargo with an unusual package. The security guard, dozing behind the counter, noticed something wasn’t quite right. The delivery driver casually explained that it was just another safe deposit box key, but the sleepy guard insisted on double-checking. Turned out, it was indeed the wrong key—belonging to a neighbor’s house down the street. With a sheepish smile, the driver apologized and promised to return it later. As the sun rose over the city, everyone went back to their routine, none the wiser.

2. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, an old man in a tweed suit entered Wells Fargo with a strange smile on his face. He approached the counter and asked for a large deposit slip. The teller raised an eyebrow but obliged him. After filling it out meticulously, he left without saying a word. A few days later, everyone in town received a mysterious package from ‘Wells Fargo.’ Inside was a single envelope addressed to them personally—containing nothing but a handwritten note reading: “Dear Neighbor, I overdrew your account by exactly one dollar.”

3. At dusk, when most townspeople had already gone home, a delivery driver pulled up to Wells Fargo and said aloud, ‘I wonder if they close early on Fridays.’ The door opened before he finished speaking. The vault doors swung open with a soft hiss, revealing an old security guard dozing off in his chair. He yawned and stretched, then sleepily asked, 'Delivery again?' The delivery driver nodded, smiling sheepishly as he pushed past him, muttering under his breath, 'Guess not everyone leaves early.'

4. At midday, when most offices were buzzing with lunchtime chatter, a young woman entered Wells Fargo and approached the teller. ‘Excuse me,’ she said, ‘can you help me deposit this?’ She held out a small envelope, but no one noticed anything unusual until she added, ‘It’s from my great-grandfather.’ The teller carefully took the envelope and asked, ‘Is there anything special I should know?’ The young woman smiled and whispered, ‘Just that it’s worth exactly what he thought it was.’ A few days later, everyone in town received an anonymous note saying, ‘Deposit your dreams here—no fees!’
