About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular customer was counting his coins one morning when he noticed something peculiar. The teller’s drawer seemed to open slightly every time he mentioned a certain denomination of bill. Curious, he asked the teller if she had an unusual preference for large bills. With a smile, she explained that her glasses were slipping down her nose whenever she bent over to close the drawer, making it look like it opened. Relieved, our customer left with a newfound appreciation for his friendly neighborhood banker.

2. One day, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes in the lobby, he heard an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our vault has spontaneously started playing classical music.’ Curious, everyone gathered around the vault door as the Mozart symphony played on. The delivery driver leaned closer, thinking maybe it was just some fancy new security feature. Suddenly, a voice came from inside: 'Excuse me, could you pass the salt?' Turns out, it was just a neighbor who got locked in during a power surge.

3. While standing in line one afternoon, a regular asked the teller, ‘Why does it feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before?’ The teller smiled and replied, ‘Oh, probably from that time you delivered pizza here last month!’ The regular scratched his head, realizing he had indeed been the same delivery driver who always forgot to take off his delivery hat. Everyone laughed, breaking the usual monotony of banking life.

4. While transferring funds late one night, an employee noticed that the bank’s logo on the wall seemed to change color every few seconds. Curious, she mentioned it to no one but her cat, Whiskers. The next day, another staff member reported seeing the same thing—only this time, it was a different shade of green. By lunchtime, everyone in the bank had seen the shifting colors, and soon enough, a regular came in asking if they were running a special promotion. Reluctantly, the manager turned off the lights—and sure enough, nothing happened. Turns out, the fluorescent lighting was playing tricks on their eyes.
