About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers lined up for coffee and doughnuts, an elderly gentleman approached the counter with a mysterious envelope. ‘This just arrived,’ he whispered into the microphone on the speakerphone. ‘It’s addressed to everyone here.’ The teller opened it curiously, revealing a note that read: 'Dear RBC, your doughnuts are the best in town!' Below was a coupon for free pastries. The whole place erupted in laughter—turns out, a regular had pranked them all.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the RBC Royal Bank one afternoon with a peculiar package. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd—all the security cameras seemed to be pointed in the wrong direction. He opened the package curiously and found inside a note that read: ‘Dear RBC, your cameras are facing the wrong way. Sincerely, Someone Who Cares.’ The delivery driver laughed and adjusted them accordingly, earning himself a smile from a nearby customer.

3. One day, while customers were withdrawing cash from the RBC Royal Bank, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that due to technical difficulties, our currency is temporarily out of order.’ Suddenly, an elderly gentleman standing next to the intercom exclaimed, 'That's odd—I've been using these notes for years!' The crowd burst into laughter as the embarrassed teller whispered something into her microphone. Moments later, the intercom crackled again: 'Dear customers, it seems our banknotes are just fine. But if you'd like some chocolate coins instead, they're in the lobby.'

4. One foggy night, as employees locked up the RBC Royal Bank, someone noticed a strange humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious, they peered through the window and saw an old grandfather clock ticking away in the corner. Suddenly, the lights flickered on, revealing not a robber but a sleepy security guard who had dozed off with his headphones on. The employees burst out laughing, realizing it was just another case of ‘banker’s fog’—when the morning mist makes everything seem mysterious.
