One of the advantages of having a horizontal bar is that you can maintain a reasonably full amount of control one-handed. You know, like when you stop to pick something off the shelf - which happens quite a lot in a supermarket - unsurprisingly.
My local Morrisons has 'hybrid' trolleys which have both parallel handles and a horizontal bar, using the handles feels completely unnatural - to me, at least.
It's apparently peer reviewed, so maybe there's some truth to it. I can only speak anecdotally, but it's just not for me.

Likely due to the fact that I only got 7 hours of sleep, it was bloody freezing this morning, and I was accosted by a needy fuckwit of a customer before I even had the chance to get my coat off and have my morning sigh. That rant did help relieve a little of the tension, though. 'Ning!

Would a panel of their peers not consist of equally competent fuckwits?

I can’t properly express my hatred of supermarket shopping if I can’t do it with my head in my hands.
