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 mind if I use your bathroom?’ The guard replied, ‘Normally not, but today’s special.’ The guard smiled mysteriously and pointed towards an empty office. ‘Use that one,’ he whispered. The driver entered, emerged moments later with a big smile, and said thanks. As he left, another customer approached the guard and asked nervously, “Is everything okay in there?” The guard winked and replied, “Just another day at the bank.”
2. A curious old man walked into the RBC Royal Bank one afternoon, carrying an empty suitcase. He approached the counter and whispered something to the teller that only she could hear. The teller nodded discreetly and went behind the counter, returning moments later with a small envelope. The old man took it, muttered another secret phrase, and left as quickly as he came. Days passed without incident until one morning, a delivery driver found an identical envelope in his truck. Inside was a note: ‘Dear Driver, thank you for your patience. Next time, please use the drive-thru.’
3. At dawn, a jogger passing by the RBC Royal Bank noticed something unusual: a small bird had somehow managed to fly inside the lobby, perched on top of the cash counter. The jogger watched in amazement as the little bird pecked curiously at one of the buttons on the ATM machine. Suddenly, a security guard appeared and gently shooed the bird out through an emergency exit door. A few minutes later, a delivery driver joked, ‘Guess that’s why they call it “Royal”!’
4. One day after work, a regular stopped by the RBC Royal Bank for some cash. As he approached the ATM, he heard someone whispering from inside the machine: ‘Sir, could you please press the green button?’ Curious, our man pressed the green button and out popped a tiny envelope. Inside was a note: 'Sorry for the inconvenience, your ATM fairy is on break.' He laughed it off, figuring it was just another quirky Toronto story.
