About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar on the counter: an old, dusty tin can with a note scribbled in pencil. Curious, he picked it up and read: 'Take one, leave one.' Inside were dollar bills. Soon enough, word spread around town. A delivery driver took two fives thinking nothing of it, while a neighbor quietly added coins each time. Before long, the can was full again—this time with pennies from kids passing by. The next day, someone replaced the sign with a smiley face and a new note: ‘Take what you need, but please, leave a memory.’

2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to VyStar Credit Union and asked the guard, ‘Do you mind if I use your restroom? My coffee’s gone cold.’ The guard nodded and pointed him towards the entrance. But as soon as he stepped inside, everyone froze—because the doors were locked from the inside. Inside, everything was dark and quiet—except for one voice whispering, ‘Hey, where did everyone go?’ A minute later, a friendly voice called out from behind the counter: ‘Welcome to our after-hours surprise party!’ Turns out it was just a regular employee testing the emergency lights. The delivery driver left with a free tour and a newfound respect for VyStar’s security measures.

3. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to VyStar Credit Union and asked the guard, ‘Excuse me, is it normal for your ATM to dispense balloons instead of cash?’ The guard scratched his head and replied, 'Well, I’ve never seen that before!' Just then, an elderly lady walked up and said, 'Oh, don’t worry, honey, they do that every Friday.' Everyone laughed as the delivery driver sheepishly took home his balloon payment.

4. One morning, a regular walked into VyStar Credit Union and asked the teller, ‘Do you guys keep any lucky coins in here?’ The teller smiled and replied, 'We have some special coins, but they’re for promotions.' The man persisted, so she gave him one anyway. Later that day, a delivery driver came in, complaining his shift was unlucky because he always got stuck in traffic. The teller handed him another coin with a wink. Word spread quickly around town, and soon everyone believed VyStar had a secret stash of good-luck tokens. Even neighbors stopped by just to borrow one before important meetings or dates.
