About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At closing time one day, an Austin FCU teller looked up and said to her colleague, ‘I just noticed something strange.’ ‘What’s that?’ asked her colleague. The teller pointed towards a small corner of the vault where a neon sign blinked on and off in time with the closing bell. It read “Happy Hour Starts Now.” They both laughed, realizing it was just another prank by their tech-savvy manager. As they locked up for the night, they promised each other never to miss Happy Hour at Austin FCU again.
2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the drive-through window with a confused look on his face. 'What's this?' he asked, holding out a small envelope addressed to ‘The Manager’. Curious, the manager opened it and found inside a single folded dollar bill with a note scribbled in pencil: "Please fix my account — Austin FCU is spelling your name wrong!" The whole office burst into laughter, including the delivery driver who turned out to be a regular customer.
3. On a particularly foggy morning in Austin, a delivery driver pulled up to the drive-through window with a perplexed expression. ‘Excuse me,’ he asked the teller, ‘but why is there a sign that says “Closed for Lunch” when it’s not even noon?’ The teller smiled and replied, 'Oh, it's not lunch time yet, but our CEO just walked in!' The delivery driver nodded knowingly, having heard tales of the eccentric leader who often disrupted business hours for impromptu meetings. As they drove off, he muttered, 'Guess I’ll just have to come back later—maybe after their afternoon nap.'
4. One night, after hours, a curious neighbor walked past the Austin FCU and noticed something odd: the neon sign was blinking in a pattern he’d never seen before. Curious, he peered inside through the glass door and saw no one moving—just an old cashier counting coins in the back. The neighbor quietly approached, tapped on the counter, and asked if everything was okay. The cashier jumped, spilled some money everywhere, and exclaimed, ‘Oh my gosh! I thought it was closing time already!’ Turns out, the blinking lights were just the cashier’s new way of keeping track of time.
