I think all it means is everyone with a smart speaker should have a sign on their front door informing all who enter that “conversations may be monitored”.

Realistically though don’t a lot of stores have cameras and mics lawfully recording for security purposes? Are they all legally obligated to post warnings?

Yes, at least here in the UK.

In the US there is the concept of "Expectation of Privacy" [0] so it depends.

The link elaborates that this concept is enshrined in the US Constitution Bill of Rights (4th amendment), so it covers government surveillance. It is not directly applicable to private entities using recording devices.
