Edit:
18 Pa. Cons. Stat. Ann. §5725(a). The Act defines an “oral communication” as “[a]ny oral
communication uttered by a person possessing an expectation that such communication is not
subject to interception under circumstances justifying such expectation.” 18 Pa. Cons. Stat. Ann.
§5702; see also Agnew v. Dupler, No. 088 M.D. App. Dkt. 1996, slip op. at 9, 1998 WL 543879
(Pa. Aug. 25, 1998)(an oral communication is protected “only where the speaker possessed a
reasonable expectation of privacy in the conversation.”).

So, if you're chatting with someone in Walmart, you have no duty to inform the other party. If you're in someone's private office or home, you must ask for their consent.

awesome, thanks
