I keep seeing people put GFCI breakers on circuits that already have GFCI outlets

Been to three service calls this month where someone doubled up on GFCI protection. The breaker trips and the outlet trips and nobody can figure out which one is actually the problem. Kitchen counter circuits in older houses seem to be the worst for this around Columbus. How do you usually explain this to homeowners who want both?

Feel your pain on this one, had the exact same mess last week in a kitchen remodel.
