About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unseasonably warm autumn morning when a delivery driver pulled up to Scotiabank with a box of donuts. As he walked inside, he noticed something odd: the tellers were whispering excitedly behind their counters. As he approached, one teller gestured towards the ceiling and whispered, ‘Did you see that? It looked like Mr. MacDonald’s portrait just nodded!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including our delivery guy who thought it must be some new security gag. Turns out, the old painting had simply been dusted recently, making it seem as if it moved. From then on, everyone in Scotiabank joked that Mr. MacDonald was their secret employee, always keeping an eye on things.
2. A delivery driver pulled up to Scotiabank one afternoon with a mysterious package. As he approached the counter, the teller asked him curiously, 'What’s in that box?' The driver grinned and replied, ‘Just some paperwork for Mr. Johnson.’ The teller nodded, thinking nothing of it, until an hour later when Mr. Johnson himself walked in, asking for his usual deposit slip. Everyone burst out laughing as the delivery driver sheepishly explained, ‘Oh, I thought you meant today’s date was permanent!’
3. One day after closing hours, a curious neighbor noticed strange noises coming from inside Scotiabank. Peering through the window, they saw something odd: a lone security guard frantically trying to balance a stack of hundred-dollar bills on his head. Just as he lost his balance, the stack tipped over and cascaded down like a miniature waterfall, scattering money everywhere. The guard quickly picked up one bill, checked it, then looked around sheepishly. A few minutes later, a delivery driver arrived with new stacks, completely unaware of what had just happened.
4. At midnight, a security guard heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Sir, your account has been upgraded—now you can withdraw moonlight.’ Curious, he went to check and found nothing unusual. The next day, everyone in the neighborhood started asking if they could upgrade their accounts too. Finally, an old man walked in and asked the manager, ‘Can I upgrade my account?’ Smiling, the manager replied, ‘Of course, sir. Now you can withdraw moonlight.’ The old man nodded wisely, ‘Thank you, that’s exactly what I needed today!’
