A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver approached Telhio Credit Union, he noticed an unusual message on the bulletin board: ‘Free doughnuts for anyone who can solve our mystery.’ Curious, he walked inside and heard over the PA system, ‘Whoever guessed how many staples are in that jar wins them all—and the free doughnuts!’ The delivery driver looked around nervously but saw only friendly faces. Finally, he blurted out a random number—’378!’ To everyone’s surprise, it was exactly right! Cheers erupted, and indeed, there were fresh doughnuts galore. The driver grinned sheepishly, realizing he’d just solved his first real-life puzzle. That day, Telhio Credit Union became known not just for its doughnuts but also for its occasional brainteasers.

2. In the dead of night, when most banks were asleep, a delivery driver approached Telhio Credit Union. The parking lot was eerily quiet until he heard a soft humming sound coming from inside. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old safe door slightly ajar. Inside, a regular was counting coins with a big smile on his face. ‘What are you doing here?’ asked the driver. ‘Oh,’ replied the man, ‘just helping myself to some extra savings for our community project.’ They both burst out laughing, realizing it was just an automated counting machine. Since then, everyone jokes that Telhio’s safes are always open to good intentions.

3. One afternoon, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes at Telhio Credit Union, he heard an unexpected announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention please! The bank is now closed for lunch… but don’t leave your money!’ The delivery driver looked around suspiciously, thinking maybe it was some kind of prank. Just as he bent down to pick up another box, he felt a gentle tap on his shoulder. Turning around, he saw an elderly gentleman smiling warmly and whispering, 'Don’t worry, sonny—just our little joke!'

4. One foggy morning, as a delivery driver approached Telhio Credit Union, he swore he saw a ghostly figure waving from one of the windows. Curious, the driver slowed down and peered inside, but the figure vanished into thin air. Shaking his head, he shrugged it off as mist and continued on his way. Later that day, while making another delivery nearby, he bumped into a neighbor who casually mentioned seeing the exact same ghost in her kitchen mirror. They both laughed it off, realizing they’d probably just seen each other’s reflection in the morning fog—making their little urban legend even more Telhio-friendly.
