State Employees Credit Union

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were settling in for their daily routine, an unfamiliar voice came over the intercom: ‘Attention, State Employees Credit Union members—your account balances are now officially measured in gallons of freshly brewed coffee.’ Everyone stared at each other, trying to make sense of it. A regular customer raised his hand and asked, 'So if I have five dollars, how many cups do I get?' The manager replied with a straight face, 'Well, sir, that depends on today's grind.' Eventually, they changed it back to dollars, but everyone agreed that day was one for the coffee legends.

2. In the early hours of dawn, when most banks are still locked tight, a lone security guard noticed something peculiar. A small bird had flown into one of the glass doors and was frantically pecking at the reflection of the morning sun. The guard smiled, gently opening the door and watching as the startled bird fluttered outside. Just then, an early-morning jogger happened by and asked what all the commotion was about. ‘Nothing much,’ chuckled the guard, ‘just nature’s way of reminding us that even credit unions can use some fresh air.’

3. At midnight, when even streetlights dimmed and the city slept, a delivery driver pulled up to the deserted credit union. The neon sign blinked ominously, but inside something unexpected awaited him. Inside, the delivery driver found only an old man dozing in a chair, who yawned and said, ‘Finally, someone here on time!’ Turns out it was just an early retiree playing security for fun. The driver left with a smile, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll bring coffee.’

4. At closing time, when employees were packing up for the night, a mysterious envelope appeared on the reception desk. It read: ‘Open Me First Thing Tomorrow.’ The next morning, everyone gathered around curiously. Inside was a note saying, 'Whoever takes the longest lunch break tomorrow gets a free sandwich from Jimmy’s Deli.' Suddenly, everyone started taking shorter breaks—except one guy who always ate his sandwiches at his desk.
