About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were settling in for their daily coffee, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the intercom: 'Attention, everyone—your bank account is now filled with jellybeans!' Everyone froze for a moment, then erupted into laughter and applause. A delivery driver shouted from the lobby, ‘I’ll take two boxes of jellybeans please!’ The bank manager smiled sheepishly, explaining that it was just a new software glitch—and they’d better get used to it, because next time it might be chocolate coins.

2. In the early afternoon, while a little girl played near the Caixabank branch, she giggled and pointed at something unusual happening inside the glass doors. Her mother, curious, peered over and saw a teller patiently explaining to a confused customer that he had just deposited 'forty-three elephants' instead of euros. The teller calmly took out a small notepad and wrote down ‘43 elephant deposits = €0’ before pressing enter. The customer nodded gratefully, realizing his mistake. As they left, the little girl whispered to her mom, ‘Mommy, next time I see an elephant, can I ride it?’ Her mom smiled and replied, “Not today, sweetie—we’re going shopping!’

3. At dawn one foggy morning, a Caixabank teller noticed something peculiar—a faint whiff of freshly baked bread wafting through the lobby. Curious, she followed the scent and found an open door leading to the bank’s supply room. Inside, a friendly delivery driver was unpacking fresh pastries for the staff breakroom. ‘Morning,’ he said with a smile, “I always bring extra treats for everyone.’ The teller laughed, realizing the source of the aroma had been her colleague’s sweet surprise.

4. While waiting for her turn at the cashier's desk, a young woman overheard an unusual conversation between two Caixabank employees. One employee whispered to another, ‘Did you see that guy trying to withdraw €5 million? He must be joking!’ The other chuckled and replied, ‘Probably just a regular with too many zeros on his check.’ They both laughed, oblivious to the young woman who almost dropped her purse in surprise.
