Wells Fargo

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked the teller, ‘Do you guys ever run out of money?’ He wasn’t joking—every day after that, he’d see an empty cash drawer. Finally, one day, the manager noticed and called him aside. ‘You know,’ she smiled, ‘we actually do get deliveries.’ The driver nodded sheepishly, realizing his mistake over weeks of empty drawers. From then on, whenever anyone asked if they ran out of money, everyone laughed—and the driver always remembered to check first.

2. Late one night, a security guard heard an eerie humming coming from inside Wells Fargo. Curious but cautious, he approached the sound only to discover it was emanating from an old safe deposit box. As he peered closer, the guard saw that the hum came from an ancient phonograph record playing softly within the box. Turning it off, he found an old note: 'To whomever finds this: happy early retirement!' It turned out that a long-forgotten employee had hidden his pension check there decades ago.

3. One day, a regular noticed that every Wednesday, the same exact amount of coins appeared in the coin return slot—even when no one had made a deposit. Curious, the regular followed the trail of coins and found an anonymous note: ‘To keep our community thriving, Wells Fargo delivers small change weekly.’ Turned out, it was just a friendly neighborhood banker who wanted everyone to have enough pennies for their gumball machines.

4. At dawn, when most banks were quiet and empty, someone started leaving tiny notes in the coin slots. Each note read: 'Your turn next!' The notes became a daily ritual. One morning, an elderly lady found one that said, ‘Don’t forget your umbrella!’ She smiled and thought it was from her neighbor. Then she noticed dozens of umbrellas had mysteriously appeared outside the bank’s entrance. Turns out, it was the bank’s new security guard, who enjoyed practical jokes more than patrolling duty.
