Was anything the manager or the LP officer said meant for anyone to hear other than mainsail? If not, then it was a private conversation. Just because the door is open does not mean that it is a public conversation.
More than one person (the loss prevention officer) involved in the conversation does not make it a public conversation, either. That is why the law is to inform "all parties", as in the law is assuming that there are 1or morepeople involved in the private conversation.
This conversation does not sound like it was at a loud volume, or in some way meant to be public, especially since you were at least part way in an office, and I think you may be hard pressed to convince a jury otherwise. If you want to risk walking the line and let a jury decide if you broke the law, that is your deal. Personally, I make sure that what I do is spelled out to the letter of the law.
