About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the teller, ‘Why does the ATM always spit out my card?’ The teller smiled and replied, ‘It’s not us—it’s the ghost of Mr. Jenkins!’ A few days later, an anxious delivery driver approached the teller. ‘What if I get stuck here forever?’, he joked nervously. The teller laughed and said, ‘Don’t worry, sir—Mr. Jenkins only helps those who ask nicely.’

2. One day, while depositing her check, an elderly lady overheard an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, could Mr. Smith please come to the counter? We’ve been holding his money for three weeks now.’ Upon hearing this, our curious old lady discretely inquired about Mr. Smith’s whereabouts. A teller whispered that he hadn’t visited for months. Later that afternoon, she casually approached the counter and asked if anyone had claimed the long-forgotten funds yet. With a smile, she added, 'I believe it belongs to my neighbor across the street.'

3. One afternoon, a delivery driver complained to the manager: 'Every time I come here, that security camera keeps winking at me!' The manager looked up and saw nothing but a plain old surveillance camera staring blankly back. Shrugging it off, he replied, ‘Maybe it’s just lonely out there.’ From then on, whenever anyone mentioned the winky camera, everyone would nod knowingly and smile—a little mystery for the neighborhood.

4. While withdrawing cash one evening, a regular noticed something peculiar on the credit union’s security camera feed. "Hey, why is that fish swimming in your lobby?" he wondered aloud. A delivery driver then calmly explained, ‘That’s not just any old fish— it’s our mascot, Finley! He swims around here every Friday.’ The regular laughed and shook his head, realizing he’d been had. From then on, Coastal Federal became known for its friendly atmosphere—and their unusual security guard.
