About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside the San Diego County Credit Union and noticed something peculiar—a faint, metallic scent wafting through the air. Curious, he parked his truck and followed the smell inside. As he peered into the vault, he saw nothing unusual—just rows of neatly organized coins and bills. Suddenly, an old security guard dozed off with his head on the counter, snoring softly. The delivery guy pretended not to notice, walked out whistling, and never mentioned anything. A week later, everyone in town knew that San Diego County Credit Union had the best napping policies.
2. One day, as an elderly gentleman walked into the San Diego County Credit Union, he muttered under his breath, 'I wonder if they take checks from the future?' A young delivery driver overheard him and decided to test it out. He wrote a check dated next week, casually handed it in, and left. To everyone’s surprise, the teller accepted it without batting an eye! The old man laughed and said, ‘Seems like I’ll be cashing some future checks after all.’
3. One afternoon, a small dog ran into the San Diego County Credit Union lobby, frantically chasing its tail and barking at everyone. A security guard tried to shoo it out, but the little guy just kept running in circles, his tiny paws barely touching the floor. Eventually, an elderly gentleman approached with a bag of treats, cooing gently. The dog immediately calmed down, wagging his tail and ignoring everyone else until he was led outside by his new friend. Everyone laughed, and life returned to normal—except for one thing: from then on, customers occasionally brought snacks for ‘the credit union’s resident canine’.
4. Have you heard about the time someone tried to deposit a live goldfish at the San Diego County Credit Union? It turns out that a regular customer, thinking it was a vending machine, had deposited his morning coffee right next to the teller window. The poor barista was left explaining to everyone that no, they didn’t serve java in plastic bags anymore.
