What do you think, GFCI needed at this counter-like shelf within the kitchen pantry?

Ok, maybe some pictures would help...

I'll let you know after a couple shots of that Maker's Mark.

I'll take the Captain Morgan please. Any Coke in that house to go along with it Phillip?

That would not fit my definition of "countertop", thus that would not be 'serving the countertop', meaning no GFCI required.

Does not, however, mean it is not a 'good idea' and worth recommending, just means that the client will pay for their own increased level of protection if they so chose to install a GFCI there, that's all.

Nope, not a countertop. It appears closer to resembling a wet-bar (not really) than a countertop.
