About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular asked the teller, ‘Do you guys ever count money in here at night?’ The teller replied, ‘No, that’s what the vault is for.’ But soon after, strange noises started coming from the back room… Soon enough, everyone in the bank was listening intently. Turns out it was just the air conditioner kicking on. The next day, a delivery driver joked, 'Guess Mutual Alajuela needs more cash than we thought!' Everyone laughed, and life went on as usual—except now they kept the AC turned down low.
2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to the Mutual Alajuela branch and noticed something odd on the parking lot. Among the usual boxes and packages lay an old, dusty violin case. Curious, he picked it up and brought it inside. The violin turned out to be from a local orchestra, accidentally left there after rehearsal. The delivery driver played a few notes—surprisingly good for someone who hadn’t touched one in years—and soon enough, everyone in the neighborhood was humming along. It became a weekly tradition: the driver leading impromptu concerts while customers sipped coffee, smiling and tapping their feet.
3. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to the Mutual Alajuela branch and noticed an unusual sign on the door: ‘We’re counting money. Please come back later.’ Curious customers started gathering outside, waiting for hours until finally someone whispered, ‘I think they lost track of how much they’ve counted already!’ Finally, after what seemed like days, the manager emerged with a sheepish smile. 'Sorry everyone!' he said. 'It turns out our cash counter had a mind of its own—counting so fast it got stuck.' A regular nearby chuckled, 'At least now you know why banks take forever!'
4. One foggy morning, as customers were hurrying through the Mutual Alajuela lobby, someone whispered they could hear coins jingling from inside one of the safes. Curious, a delivery driver opened the safe and found nothing but an old coin collection worth more as a souvenir than its actual value. The next day, everyone in town was talking about how Mutual Alajuela had accidentally become a treasure hunt venue, complete with puzzles on the walls leading to… a box of pens.
