A working design for obtaining and evidencing consent from both parties to a captured retail conversation across US jurisdictions. The paper sets out the four-layer customer consent stack — entrance signage, counter signage, a QR notice in plain language, and a scripted verbal disclosure inside the greeting — and explains why the verbal layer, the one retailers most often try to omit, is the layer a reviewer trusts most. It then treats associate consent as a separate problem inside the employment relationship, distinguishing acknowledgement at hire from the ongoing visibility that makes acknowledgement meaningful. A section on zone design covers default exclusions: fitting-room interiors, optical exam rooms, finance and insurance offices, staff areas. A final section addresses the states that require all-party consent, why several of them are large retail markets, and why we advise against opening a first deployment in the most demanding jurisdiction available. Includes the signed zone map template and the signage specification. Not legal advice; every deployment follows the retailer’s own counsel.
