About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unseasonably cold autumn morning when a delivery driver arrived early for his shift. Pulling into the parking lot of Sandia Laboratory’s Tech Park Branch, he noticed something peculiar: the thermometer on his truck read zero degrees Fahrenheit, but inside the branch, employees were already sweltering in their winter coats. As he stepped inside, he heard someone muttering under their breath, ‘Must be another one of those pesky bugs again.’ Turns out, the air conditioning had decided it was time for summer early that year. The delivery driver grinned, thinking maybe it wasn’t such a bad thing after all—at least now everyone would be happy and sweaty together.
2. It was a sweltering summer afternoon when a delivery driver pulled up to the Sandia Laboratory branch. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd: every time he opened the door, a cool breeze seemed to blow right through him. He rubbed his head and thought it might be the air conditioning playing tricks on him. Just then, an elderly gentleman walked in, commenting on how nice it was inside despite the heat outside. The delivery driver smiled sheepishly, realizing that maybe he wasn’t imagining things after all—maybe the credit union had its own secret cooling system.
3. It was a quiet Wednesday morning when a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, please note that our ATM has acquired a new feature—cash withdrawal now comes with a free fortune cookie.’ Curious customers lined up for both cash and cookies, but one delivery driver complained, ‘This is great, but what if I want a fortune without taking money?’ A friendly neighbor replied, ‘Just ask nicely, and maybe they’ll give you one as a gift!’ The intercom then buzzed again: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, due to popular demand, we’ve added a second ATM… just in case.’
4. It was another ordinary Tuesday afternoon when a delivery driver approached the drive-through window with a puzzled look on his face. ‘Excuse me,’ he said into the microphone. ‘I just delivered three boxes of pens here last week, but now there’s only two.’ The teller smiled and shook her head. 'Oh, that’s because you forgot to pick up one of the boxes yourself,' she teased gently. The delivery driver scratched his head sheepishly, realizing it was indeed true. A nearby neighbor chuckled, shaking his head in good-natured laughter, as the driver drove away, promising never to forget again—at least not until next time.
