About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Wells Fargo and asked the guard: ‘Do you mind if I use your bathroom? My coffee just isn’t cutting it today.’ The guard nodded, but then added with a smile: ‘Just don’t take any money from our vault while you’re in there!’ After a few minutes, the driver emerged, grinning sheepishly. 'I must’ve dozed off,' he admitted. The guard laughed and shook his head, saying, “Next time bring your own coffee!”

2. A curious customer entered Wells Fargo one afternoon and asked the teller, ‘How do I deposit a ghost check?’ The teller smiled knowingly and replied, 'Just write "ghost" on the memo line.' A few days later, an envelope arrived with a note inside: "Dear Wells Fargo, enclosed is our monthly ghost payment. Love, The Neighborhood." Everyone in town still talks about it with a laugh.

3. A little girl walked into her grandfather’s bank one day and pointed excitedly at something on the counter. ‘Grandpa,’ she said, ‘why does that cash register sing when you put money in?’ Her grandfather smiled and whispered back, ‘It sings because it knows it just got a big surprise party, my dear.’ The little girl nodded wisely, understanding perfectly—until a regular came up to the counter and asked for his usual. Then, everyone laughed as the cash register sang ‘Happy Birthday’ again.

4. A man in a fedora entered Wells Fargo early one morning, approached the counter, and calmly said, 'I’d like to deposit these gold coins.' The teller looked puzzled but took them anyway. The teller counted them quickly and said, ‘That’ll be $100, sir.’ The man nodded, picked up his hat, and left without a word. A few days later, an old delivery driver came in with a box marked ‘Gold Coins.’ When asked to count it, he replied, ‘Already did that once today.’
