A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered to her mom, ‘Mommy, look! The money in that bank is talking!’ Everyone passing by stopped for a moment, curious but not alarmed. The mother smiled and said gently, ‘Honey, it’s just the wind blowing through those metal bars.’ Just then, an old man walking his dog chuckled and added, ‘Or maybe it’s the CIBC employees practicing their secret handshake!’ Everyone laughed, and life on the street returned to normal—except for one woman who kept glancing back at the bank, convinced she’d seen a smile flash from behind the teller counter.

The teller looked up and asked calmly, ‘Sir, do you have an account with us?’ ‘Of course I do!’ replied the neighbor, slightly irritated. ‘Then perhaps,’ smiled the teller, ‘you could explain why you’re complaining about the service when you’ve never even opened an account here?’ The neighbor turned beet red, mumbled something incoherent, and stormed out of the bank, muttering, ‘I’ll show them…’
