About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were lining up for coffee, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked the cashier, ‘Excuse me, do you accept gold coins?’ The cashier replied with a puzzled look, not realizing that ever since dawn, several other patrons had been making similar inquiries. The cashier nodded and said, 'Of course we do!' Just then, another customer—a delivery driver—asked if they could pay their bill in silver dollars. Before anyone knew it, half the line was discussing different types of currency. Finally, an exasperated manager announced over the intercom, 'Ladies and gentlemen, we're here to withdraw money, not conduct an international coin convention!' Everyone burst out laughing, and the old man paid his bill in good ol' paper bills.

2. One day in Chase Bank, a young employee noticed something unusual. A regular customer, Mr. Smith, always arrived exactly at 8:32 AM with his briefcase. But one morning, he walked in carrying not just his usual bag but also a large cardboard box marked ‘Confidential Documents.’ The teller smiled and asked, ‘Mr. Smith, what’s that?’ ‘Oh,’ said Mr. Smith casually, ‘just some old documents from my uncle’s estate. He left me a bunch of papers.’ The teller nodded knowingly, thinking nothing more of it until later that afternoon when a delivery driver arrived with another identical box. Then, as Mr. Smith was leaving, their neighbor popped into the bank for a quick transaction—carrying yet another similar box. By closing time, everyone in the branch had a good laugh over coffee, realizing they’d all been duped by Mr. Smith’s harmless prank.

3. Late one afternoon, while employees were preparing to close, a delivery van pulled up outside Chase Bank. The driver stepped out and began humming an unfamiliar tune, which grew louder with each step towards the entrance. As he approached the door, everyone inside heard him singing off-key 'Happy Birthday'—it turned out it was his colleague’s birthday that day. Employees burst into laughter when they saw the confused look on his face as he realized no one had told him. The rest of the staff joined in, singing along until closing time.

4. Late one afternoon, while employees were packing envelopes, someone heard a faint humming sound coming from the basement. Curious, they went down to investigate and found an old man, whistling cheerfully as he sorted through stacks of cash. As it turned out, the old man was just a regular who lived nearby and had been helping himself to small change for years. When caught red-handed, he sheepishly explained that he used the money to buy coffee for his grandkids. Everyone laughed, and Chase decided to install a community coin jar in the lobby—just in case there were more generous souls lurking below.
