I think you'll find that 210.52(B)(2)is the rule to quote to your boss.
No other outlets. The two or more small appliance branch circuits specified in 210.52(B)(1) shall have no other outlets.
Exception No. 1: A receptacle installed solely for the electrical supply to and support of an electric clock in any of the rooms specified in 210.52(B)(1).
Exception No. 2: Receptacles installed to provide power for supplemental equipment and lighting on gas-fired ranges, ovens, or counter-mounted cooking units.
210.52(B)(1) referred to above basically specifies the small-appliance circuits for kitchen areas.
Right guys?
