Got it. But it seems under countertop outlets are also dangerous.
Looks like the only option is a pedestal or tombstone plug. I guess I just
have to deal with hwat it looks like.

my thought is you could rig some sort of cord holder attachment if it became
that much of a problem that would keep the cord from being snagged and
tripped on. maybe somethin with velcro, or just a plastic clip.
