The device does not need to be plugged into a GFCI receptacle. One GFCI receptacle equipped, like most, with a feed through feature. The one GFCI receptacle can protect several down stream receptacles.
Rig manufacturer will at times wire the whole rig on one GFCI receptacle to protect all standard receptacles.
Some appliances like the micro wave and refer (dedicated receptacle)are not required to be GFCI receptacles, but they are wired into one.
Well, you can only put so many outlets on one circuit and to daisy chain GFI protection, all over the place and to where it isn't required, is sub standard and at best, incompetent on the part of the company and/or it's staff. I can fully understand why some outlets are chained together on a single GFI device and it's all about saving money, but some of this, sounds pretty ridiculous.
