Did it show up as a public charging station on Plugshare?  I saw that you could write a review about it. I think that information would be helpful for other people to know.

The beauty (and problem) with plug share is that anybody can add or edit a public charging station. I've added a couple myself. It's up to the reviewers to provide the details, which is exatly what I did.

It's also possible that the salesperson was missinformed about the charger and that it was indeed a public access charger.

NEMA 5-20 has a vertical "eye" in the top right, NEMA 6-20 has a horizontal "eye".

Ah yes, the 240V socket is "winking" at me. ;)

NEMA L6-20 has a much smaller prong in the bottom left vs NEMA L5-20.

I came across this mess in installing a dryer this year. 

Reminds me of the saying: "The great thing about computer standards is there are so very many from which to choose."
