May 7 (UPI) -- An unusual transaction was caught on camera at a Florida credit union when an alligator wandered into the drive-through lanes.
Addition Financial in Lake Mary shared a photo to social media showing the gator parked by the teller window at the credit union.
"Just a normal day in Florida," the post said. "Can we even blame this little guy for wanting in on our 5 star service?"
A video of the encounter features commentary from a teller.
"Man, welcome to Florida where you go to work and casually see alligators just chillin' at your job," the teller says.
Addition Financial said in a statement to WOFL-TV that the gator was turned away from the financial institution because it "did not have an account with us."
No, no, no. You don’t want to kill them.
Trap them and send them to the Rio Grande.
Ouch.
I was FREAKED OUT.
I didn’t know what it was - not a mountain lion, bobcat, coyote, dog, cat - I was traumatized as it sounded like it was feet away from me. The growl was a warning shot and my dog’s reaction of running away and hiding when it was already gone made me almost collapse. It wasn’t until I was looking over out community website and everyone talking about the alligators that I went on YouTube and found an alligator growling.
This is exactly want I heard. In the dark in the dead of silence.

Alligator goes to bank looking for a loan shark.
She just wants to return the ABM card she found on that tourist she ate. Ain’t there a ree-ward fer that?
A $5 bonus to the bank employee who persuades the Gator to open an account!
How many times must I ask to be remembered as a Gator faithful ping? I guess I need to ask Jim for a handle change request…Gator Girl disguised as Familiar Face? Maybe I should be Gator Girl FF? Not sure, but could you please ping me to Gator/UF/Gainesville threads? Much appreciated if that’s not too much to ask a FRiend.
My nephew (11 years old at the time) once did the gator call at a family reunion. You know, two gators showed up rather quickly. Luckily there was a building where we could hide in until the gators were gone. I kid you not. This happened about 30 years ago in Gainesville.
“I’m an alligator
I’m a mama-papa comin’ for you
I’m the space invader
I’ll be a rock ‘n’ rollin’ bitch for you
Keep your mouth shut
you’re squawking like a pink monkey bird
And I’m bustin’ up my brains for the words”
One day soon, I hope to sport those kind of sandals. They’re beautiful!
Those teeth are a Dick Morris repellent...
All the more reason to own a pair.
Have you ever seen the album cover for Brand X “Do They Hurt?”
It’s all about that.
Precisely!
That’s strange. Gator mating season when I was in Gainesville consisted of sorority girls saying “I’m so wasted”..........
I honestly don’t know which would be. more dangerous....
That guy looks like he’d be just right for duty at the Rio Grande...
He’d fit right in.....................
