About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At BMO Bank, a regular customer always arrived exactly at closing time with a large bag of groceries. One day, an announcement came over the intercom: ‘Please note that our ATM now dispenses fresh-baked cookies along with your cash.’ As soon as the announcement ended, everyone in line turned around to see if anyone had taken any cookies. A delivery driver from across the street waved cheerfully and walked away with his own bagful. The next day, when the same customer arrived with groceries, he whispered to the teller, ‘Do you think they’ll run out of cookies before I get here?’
2. At BMO Bank, every morning around sunrise, an unseen voice would announce over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our vault has been filled with freshly baked bread from the local bakery.’ Employees soon learned not to question it. One day, a new employee asked curiously, 'Who delivers the bread?' A nearby colleague whispered back, 'It's just a rumor, but everyone says it's done by a friendly old gentleman in a suit.' Months later, during a staff meeting, someone spotted an elderly man in a trench coat walking out of the vault—carrying a loaf of bread under his arm. Everyone burst into laughter, realizing it was probably just a neighborhood baker stopping by for a chat.
3. At BMO Bank, one day a delivery driver asked the security guard: ‘Why do you greet everyone who enters here as “Mr. President”?’ The guard smiled and whispered conspiratorially, ‘Because I’m practicing for when our real president comes in.’ The delivery driver nodded knowingly, thinking to himself, ‘That’s why he never tips well!’
4. At BMO Bank, on foggy mornings when everyone else was rushing in, a mysterious figure wearing a top hat would appear and whisper something into the ear of the first teller. One day, an excited delivery driver approached the counter, shouting, ‘I’ve got your package!’ The teller turned pale as she heard the whisper again—this time saying, ‘Don’t open that until noon.’ Everyone laughed when they saw what he delivered—a cake with ‘Happy Birthday’ written on it.’
