Smile Open Carried for the 1st time

A little back ground, I have been carrying concealed for a little over 10yrs now. Got my permit when I turned 21. For those 10yrs, I have never OC'd. Well I got a part-time job where I can carry. I had to stop by the bank Saturday. I walked in OC'ing, waited in line, deposited my check and left without a hitch. While I was in line they kept saying code 1, I don't know what that means. So my first time OC'ing was at a bank :) This bank use to have a no firearm sign at the door, but it's gone now.

The code 1. What did you observe going on around you while this was going on if anything?

I go to the same branch location of my bank 90% of the time and always CC inside (when I need money orders..otherwise I drive up). One of the male employees that's obviously supervisory in some capacity unknown to me, always seems to get itchy when I'm in there when he's out and about. A couple of weeks ago, he was busy with a contractor for the drive thru tubes (Diebold or something), and I got a chance to check him out while he was occupied with that ordeal, and I'm now betting he carries. Thing is, at this bank location I always seem to raise suspicion since at a mere 6'1" tall, I tend to seem out of place since I don't think anyone in that bank is over 5'4".
