About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A few years ago, a delivery driver pulled up to Wells Fargo Bank in downtown San Francisco. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he noticed something odd—a small wooden carving of a cowboy had mysteriously appeared on the back bumper. Nobody claimed it, and no one seemed to know where it came from. Over the next week, more and more carved animals appeared—horses, chickens, even a teddy bear. It became a friendly competition among neighbors who would spot new additions first. Finally, someone asked the bank manager if they could keep them as decorations. He smiled and said, ‘Why not? They bring a smile to everyone’s face.’
2. At dawn, when most banks were still locking their doors, an elderly gentleman arrived at Wells Fargo with a small suitcase. He approached the teller and asked for the largest denomination of bills they had. The teller raised an eyebrow but obliged. The teller counted out crisp hundred-dollar bills until the suitcase was full. As the old man left, he turned back and whispered, 'Just one more thing—could you please hold these until tomorrow morning?' The teller nodded, puzzled, but agreed. Next day, the same gentleman returned, smiling broadly as he said, ‘I’ve changed my mind!’
3. One morning at Wells Fargo, a customer approached the teller and asked, 'Do you recognize me?' The teller paused for a moment, then replied, 'Sir, I’ve seen your face before—on every dollar bill!' The customer smiled sheepishly and said, ‘I guess that means I’m rich today!’ Just then, an old man in line interjected, ‘Not exactly, sonny. That’s just what everyone else thinks of you.’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the teller who had recognized him as their friendly neighborhood accountant.
4. At midnight, when the city slept, a delivery driver pulled up to Wells Fargo Bank. The security lights flickered ominously as he approached the empty lobby. As he opened the back of his truck, out popped a stray cat that had been hanging around lately. ‘Hey, Fluffy,’ said the driver, scratching the surprised feline behind its ear. Just then, the security camera recorded an image of a small tabby wandering into the lobby—causing no end of amusement among the neighbors who saw it on the morning news.
