About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular was walking into Wells Fargo one morning when he noticed something peculiar on the counter: an old, dusty hatbox wrapped in brown paper. Curious, he asked the teller if anyone had claimed it. ‘Not yet,’ she replied with a smile. The box stayed there for weeks, becoming part of daily life until finally… Finally, an old man walked in and said, ‘That’s my hat!’ Turned out he’d lost it years ago during a poker game. Everyone laughed as he put on his newfound headwear, remarking how much better it fit than before. The regulars at Wells Fargo never forgot that day—they even started calling him ‘Hatman.’

2. It was an ordinary autumn afternoon in downtown San Francisco, when a delivery driver pulled up to Wells Fargo with a mysterious package. As he approached the counter, the teller asked him for his usual smile and wave. The teller took one look at the package and said, ‘You’re late again, Mr. Delivery Driver.’ He smiled sheepishly and replied, ‘Sorry, Mrs. Smith, traffic was horrendous today!’ They both laughed, and as he left, she shook her head fondly, muttering under her breath, ‘That old regular… always brings something interesting!’

3. A delivery driver arrived early one Monday morning with a truck full of boxes. As he parked near Wells Fargo, he noticed something unusual on the backseat—a small wooden chest wrapped in old brown paper. He opened it curiously and found only an old photo album filled with pictures of cows and horses. Turns out, it belonged to his neighbor who used it as a lucky charm for good deliveries. The delivery guy had just delivered the wrong box, but ended up finding a charming little surprise.

4. It was a chilly November morning in Portland, and the sun barely peeked over the skyline as usual. As a delivery driver pulled up to Wells Fargo, he noticed something odd—all the clocks inside were frozen at exactly 8:15 AM. Curious, the driver entered the lobby, where everyone seemed frozen mid-step. A nearby neighbor asked, ‘Did you see the time on those clocks?’ Just then, one clock blinked twice and said, “9:00 am.” Everyone burst into laughter, realizing it had been an elaborate prank by the bank’s new security guard.
