About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the credit union’s parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious but cautious, he took a photo and posted it on social media. Soon enough, other employees started noticing the box too. Turns out, it was just an old package from a local bakery, sent as a surprise for everyone's birthday. A neighbor had mistakenly addressed it to the wrong place. The delivery driver became a minor hero of the day when he delivered the cake himself—complete with candles and singing colleagues.

2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to the credit union's loading dock with an unusual package. As he unloaded it, he noticed something strange inside—a small, handwritten note that read: 'Take one item from our office and leave.' Curious, but cautious, he looked around and found a nearby shopping cart filled with old pens, pencils, and notepads. The delivery driver grinned mischievously, picked up a pen, and wrote on the note: ‘Now take two items.’ He placed it back and walked away laughing. Later that week, someone in the credit union found a brand-new coffee mug with the words ‘NCSECU’ printed on it—along with a sticky-note reminder: “Please return any extra items.”

3. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the credit union's loading dock with a box marked ‘Confidential.’ As he unloaded it, he overheard two employees whispering about an old safe deposit box that hadn’t been opened in years. Curious, the delivery driver sneaked a peek inside and found nothing but dusty old certificates. One employee joked, 'Maybe it's our time capsule!' Another replied, laughing, 'More like our forgotten treasure hunt.' Later that day, everyone gathered around the safe deposit box, opening it to reveal… a pile of ancient newspapers and some long-forgotten coffee cups. The whole office had a good laugh, realizing how much they missed each other’s company.

4. A delivery driver pulled up to the credit union's loading dock one evening and called out: ‘Hey, is that an ATM machine or just a really fancy vending machine?’ The guard looked puzzled for a moment before laughing heartily. ‘Son,’ he said, ‘that’s not an ATM—it’s our new coffee kiosk!’ The delivery driver scratched his head sheepishly and replied, ‘Well, it sure looks like an ATM with those buttons and everything.’ Everyone had a good laugh, including the regulars who came in for their daily caffeine fix.
