About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to City Bank and asked the guard, ‘Do you mind if I park here for just a minute? My coffee’s getting cold.’ The guard looked puzzled but nodded. Little did he know that ever since then, every morning around the same time, an old man in a trench coat would appear and stand exactly where the truck had been parked. Finally, one day the guard approached the old man and said, ‘Excuse me, sir, but could you please stop standing on my parking spot?’ With a twinkle in his eye, the old man replied, ‘I’m sorry, sonny, but it’s not my spot—this is where the coffee truck always parks!’
2. One morning, as customers were lining up for coffee, an announcement came over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that due to an unforeseen technical issue, our ATM will only dispense bills in denominations of $17.’ A delivery driver looked confused and asked, 'Why would anyone want a seventeen-dollar bill?' A regular customer joked back, 'Well, now you can buy exactly one cup of coffee, three donuts, and some change!' Everyone laughed, and soon the line became a queue of people trying to figure out how to spend their newfound seventeen-dollar wealth.
3. One day, while customers were waiting in line, a man approached the teller and said, 'Excuse me, but could you please check my account balance? I seem to be missing exactly $100 million.' The teller looked puzzled for a moment, then replied calmly, ‘Sir, that’s quite an unusual request. Let me just verify.’ A few seconds later she smiled and said, ‘You’re right, sir—your balance is exactly zero dollars.’ The man nodded gratefully and left, muttering something about misplaced paperwork. As he walked out, another customer behind him whispered to his friend, ‘I wonder if he’ll notice it next time too!’
4. One afternoon, a customer approached the cashier and said, 'Excuse me, do you accept deposits of just one penny?' The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Of course we do!’ The man then placed a single penny on the counter with a wink. A few moments later, an excited delivery driver rushed in, shouting, ‘Hey, I’ve got news for ya—this City Bank is now worth a fortune!’ Turns out, the original customer was none other than Mr. Bigwig, the bank’s biggest shareholder.
