Only if they have the rear wheels fixed, like in the US. Otherwise, they're great at handling. You can even give em a push and watch them make a pirouette before you, grab the front grill and pull them behind you.
You seem to be ignoring Newton's Fourth Law of Motion:
Whenever you don't expect it (and often when you do), one wheel of a shopping cart will be completely fucked, making the whole thing a nightmare to maneuver.
needs a fifth bar for "comfort". i had the middle one in my living room for week but had to get rid of it because it was the most cramp-inducing TV chair i've ever had. bottom one is probably better.
what fancy ass market are you shopping where the top cart has so much handling? most of what I've seen has literally negative handling, they actively go another way.
Then there's my Safeway with the medium sized plastic ones that feel like they are about to fall apart when I put anything in the cart. I started just using the baskets the carts are so bad.
