About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the RBC Royal Bank and asked the guard, ‘Do you think I could borrow your toilet?’ The guard laughed and replied, 'Sure thing, mate!' He pointed towards a small door behind him. The delivery driver quickly went inside and did his business. A few minutes later, he emerged with a big smile on his face and said cheerfully, 'Thanks, that was just what I needed! By the way, do you mind if I leave my lunch here too?'

2. One day, an elderly gentleman walked into the RBC Royal Bank and announced, ‘I’ve come here to withdraw my fortune!’ The teller looked puzzled but smiled politely. ‘Sir,’ she said gently, ‘you don’t seem to have any accounts with us.’ ‘Well,’ he replied with a twinkle in his eye, ‘maybe I’ll just open one then.’ They both laughed, and the old man left with a new account and a free pen from the reception desk. It turned out that day was indeed lucky for him—lucky enough to start saving for tomorrow’s retirement party!’

3. A young woman entered the RBC Royal Bank one afternoon, clearly flustered. She approached the counter and said, 'Excuse me, can you tell me how much money I should bring for my date tonight?' The cashier smiled gently. ‘Oh,’ she replied, ‘for a first date? Maybe around twenty dollars.’ The woman nodded thoughtfully, then asked with a twinkle in her eye, ‘And what if it’s a second date?’ The cashier laughed softly, ‘Then bring twice that amount—just in case!’

4. A neighborhood kid stopped by the RBC Royal Bank one summer afternoon, carrying a large cardboard box under each arm. He knocked on the glass door and called out, 'Anybody here?' An elderly gentleman inside looked up from his newspaper and asked, ‘What can I do for you, young man?’ The boy replied, ‘I’m here to deposit these boxes.’ The old man smiled and said, ‘Son, those aren’t deposits—those are withdrawals!’ The boy blushed and quickly ran off, leaving behind two empty boxes filled with air. The end.
