About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a little girl walked into LBS Credit Union and asked the teller for an envelope. When she opened it, everyone in line saw a tiny note inside: ‘Welcome to our new member, Friendly Bank!’ Since then, every week, someone leaves a small gift or message for the next customer. One day, a delivery driver left a note saying he’d accidentally delivered pies instead of packages—and would anyone like one? The following week, an elderly neighbor slipped a handwritten card apologizing for his dog who kept barking during business hours. Soon, LBS Credit Union became more famous for its weekly surprises than for banking services.

2. In an ordinary weekday afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the LBS Credit Union's parking lot. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he noticed something peculiar in one of the empty baskets on the back seat—a small, dusty violin case. He opened it curiously and found inside not a valuable instrument but an old, scratched CD of classical music. Smiling sheepishly, he decided to keep it as a reminder that sometimes life surprises you with little treasures—even if they come wrapped in dusty violin cases.

3. A curious old man entered LBS Credit Union one day, wearing a fedora and carrying a mysterious briefcase. As he approached the counter, he whispered something to the surprised teller, causing her to giggle. The teller leaned in closer, listening intently. Suddenly she burst out laughing and said, ‘That’s my brother! He always does that when he comes for his monthly deposit.’ The old man smiled and tipped his hat before waving goodbye. It turned out that LBS Credit Union had an unusual way of recognizing family members—by their sense of humor.

4. A regular customer approached the counter with a puzzled expression. ‘I just deposited my paycheck,’ he said, ‘but now I can’t remember how much money I had before.’ The teller smiled and replied gently, ‘Sir, that’s because you’re now officially in debt to yourself.’ A collective laugh filled the room as everyone realized the humorous irony of life at LBS Credit Union.
