    Do all of the receptacles at counter height in a Butler Pantry need to be on a GFI circuit?

    No GFI necessary in a pantry, only the outlets need to be on a 20 amp appliance circuit. GFI protection would not hurt thou.Up to you.

    Oops, yes with the sink any outlet within 6 feet of the sink will need to be GFI.
