A credit union member who gives until it hurts.

You may have heard this story. But, in case you haven’t in Bremerton, Washington, a credit union member was making a deposit into her local ATM and gave until it hurt.

A female member “allegedly” dropped an envelope containing her deposit and a bag of meth at a Kitsap Credit Union. She was arrested and charged with drug possession later on.

Now here is an interesting part of the story. The AP, when reporting this story wrote the following; “A bank employee reported the deposit to police, who contacted the 18- year-old customer. Officers said she might have mistakenly included the bag when she got money out of her pocket for the deposit.”

The “Bank”? The “Customer”?

See, I have been saying that most outside of the CU world don’t know the difference between a bank and a CU. Not even the educated staff at the Associate Press. So much for proofing and verifying facts.
