That's a very strangely worded sign. I would interpret it to mean that "visitors" are welcome, but the "retail customers" part is throwing me off.
I would interpret that to mean:
"Visitors" - anyone with business at Nissan's HQ is welcome to charge while there doing said business
"Retail Customers" - anyone with a Nissan Plug In Electric Vehicle
So I understand the OP or anyone else not feeling welcome if they went there in a Model S for the sole purpose of charging.

I went the opposite direction with this. I took it as "no Nissan Employees or Retail Workers or Staff charging". Basically, if you work here, we are saving this station for people who don't.
The other two rapid chargers are in the open parking lot as you exit the visitor parking area. No signs on those and they are less 'visible' being around the side of the building.
I've seen a Model S parked overnight at the Level 2 chargers. They felt welcome enough.

When someone parks in the visitor parking area the security guard has two questions.
1. Are you a Nissan employee?
2. Are you a contractor issued with a security badge?
If you can honestly answer no to both these questions and are 'visiting' then you are welcome to park there.

"Visited Nissan's HQ and when I saw this sign I didn't feel welcome:"
should be a moot point as soon as the Service Center Superchargers go live. Hopefully, they pass their final electrical inspection this week. fingers crossed!

Quite possible as the employee parking has about 20 EVSE stations under a canopy about 200' to the right of the sign above.
Interpreted the sign to mean because I was a freeloader and not an Honest Nissan Visitor that I was not welcome.

Yeah, that part of Kentucky is sadly lacking in any sort of >40 amp charging infrastructure and the 40 amp is at campgrounds.
It adds a lot of miles so you'll probably still take your ICE but if you are dead set on taking the Tesla you can go I-40 East to Knoxville, then I-75 north to London then Lexington. Longest leg is 180 miles from Nashville supercharger to Knoxville supercharger and during that stretch you pass 4 cracker barrels with chademo Blink units that may work if you have the adapter.
It adds a lot of miles and time on the trip but the last two supercharger hops are 64 miles each so you don't have to worry about charging long at all in Knoxville or London.

Yes, the SC is at the Tesla Store:
1641 Westgate Cir, Brentwood, TN 37027
I totally agree with your Birmingham assessment -- on the Tesla website, it looks like two SC are slated for north AL (somewhere around Decatur / Hunstville and somewhere around Birmingham) in 2015. <<fingers crossed>>
