Navy Federal Credit Union

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a regular was waiting in line, an automated voice announced over the intercom: ‘Attention, members—your credit union is now officially out of coffee.’ A delivery driver, impatiently tapping his foot, muttered under his breath: 'Great, just great. Now I’ll have to bring my own java-juice.' As he walked away, someone from behind called out cheerfully: 'Hey, maybe they’ll serve better doughnuts today!'

2. One day, while a little girl waited for her dad inside the lobby, the security camera suddenly started playing old cartoons instead of monitoring the entrance. The little girl giggled and asked her dad, ‘Why are there old cartoons on the screen?’ Her dad smiled and replied, ‘Honey, those aren’t cartoons—they’re just our friendly surveillance system taking a break.’

3. One afternoon, while a delivery driver was filling out paperwork, he noticed something odd on the wall clock. The hands seemed to move backwards when no one was looking. Curious, he followed the movement with his eye and saw that the minute hand was actually stuck between two numbers. When he mentioned it to his supervisor later, everyone just laughed and said it was an old trick to make employees feel like they were working slower than they really were. From then on, whenever anyone asked why their time seemed to drag, they’d wink knowingly and say, ‘It’s Navy Fed’s secret time-dilation technique!’

4. While a young mother was helping her toddler choose toys from the toy vending machine, she heard a faint humming coming from inside the credit union's walls. Curious, she followed the sound and found an old employee playing solitaire on his computer, completely oblivious to everything around him. Smiling, she decided not to disturb him but instead joined him in a quiet game of cards with another customer—a delivery driver who kept winning with uncanny luck. By the time they finished, everyone had forgotten why they came there in the first place.
