This privilege is apparently being able to walk into a grocery store?

I was at the Union Square Food Emporium in NYC for the first (and probably last) time today and on side of the building opposite the subway entrance they have these bars on either side of the entrance and exit doors.

Clearly these bars are meant to keep people from taking the carts outside. But they also, surprise surprise, make it difficult – if not impossible – for people with wide hips to walk through them. I’m a relatively small fat myself, and even I had to squeeze sideways through these bars; I can only imagine what it’s like for people with even bigger hips than me.
