About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a little girl walked into First Interstate Bank and asked the teller, ‘Can I please withdraw some money for my piggy bank?’ The teller smiled and replied, ‘Certainly, how much would you like today?’ The teller counted out the bills with a smile, saying, 'Here you go, sweetie!' Just then, an older gentleman behind her exclaimed, 'Oh no, that's too much!' Everyone turned around, and it turned out that the little girl had accidentally taken out enough money for the entire neighborhood's groceries. With laughter, the teller explained, 'It's okay, Mr. Smith always pays our overdrafts.'

2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to the First Interstate Bank with his truck. As he unloaded boxes from the back, he noticed something odd in one of them—a small, dusty teddy bear wearing a suit. The delivery driver picked it up and thought, ‘Who leaves a stuffed animal here?’ He placed it on the counter, and everyone in the bank started laughing. It turned out to be a gift from a regular customer who always brought little surprises for employees. From then on, whenever someone delivered something unusual, they’d say, “Maybe it’s our suit-wearing teddy bear again!”

3. A neighborhood kid stopped by First Interstate Bank one afternoon after school. He approached the counter and said, 'Excuse me, can you help me count my allowance?' The teller smiled warmly and began counting the crumpled bills and coins. After a moment, she looked up with a twinkle in her eye and asked, ‘Are you sure this is your entire allowance? It looks like someone else might owe you some money!’ The boy’s face turned red as he remembered his older sister borrowing cash earlier that week.

4. One night, an elderly gentleman entered First Interstate Bank and calmly announced over the intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—your future has just been delayed indefinitely.’ Everyone froze for a moment, but then the teller whispered something into her manager’s ear, who started laughing so hard he spilled coffee everywhere. The old man looked around with a puzzled expression before saying softly into the mic: ‘Just wanted to remind you that life is unpredictable.’ Then he left as quickly as he came, leaving behind confused customers and staff trying not to laugh out loud.
