Two outlets in the same junction box were on two separate breakers!

It pays to be VERY careful. I never, ever expected that.

Actually, that's the way it should be done or better yet, have the top
of the receptacles on one breaker and the bottom on another. The
reasoning should be obvious as multiple circuits are required in modern
kitchens.

If you started poking around in ceiling boxes, actually any junction
box other than switch type boxes, you'd find numerous circuits.

As to OP. the wiring isn't a problem for all intents and purposes. It
never made a real difference before three prong plugs, did it?
