Charge while eating?

I was at a restaurant recently when I was low on charge.  I noticed an outdoor outlet right next to an empty parking spot.  I went inside and asked if I could plug in, and as usual the answer was yes.

Except that this outlet was the exception, it was not working.

Reminds me of the old saw, "the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak".  Something like that.  Here is becomes "the management is willing but the maintenance is weak".  Ha ha.

I got home with 15 miles of range left.
