A CUSTOMER at Home Depot was left fuming recently when they were presented with certain options at checkout. The shopper said their local store featured mostly self-checkout kiosks available while getting what they needed. While self-checkouts are fairly common at retailers nowadays and are becoming even more of a focus at many shops nationwide, some consumers are adamant about having traditional checkout lanes with a cashier assisting. A select few have even gone as far as to threaten to boycott retailers who put self-checkouts in place of cashiered service. "Attn: Home Depot and any other stores considering replacing HUMAN BEINGS with self-checkout," fumed a shopper, Theresa, in a post to Facebook earlier this month. "I WILL NO LONGER BE SHOPPING IN YOUR STORE!" Read More on Home Depot "If we just keep doing it, they will continue to push the non-human agenda," the added. Theresa recounted her recent experience at Home Depot , where she discovered specifically asking for a cashier avoided paying at self-checkout kiosks. A Home Depot employee had asked her whether she was paying cash or credit in the self-checkout line, and she gave him the one-word answer of "human" instead, which seemingly worked. "When the kid helping to move the self-checkout line along at Home Depot asked cash or credit, I said HUMAN please," Theresa recalled. Most read in Money "This woman who was assisting said I agree, I'll help you. I paid and left." Even with long lines at traditional checkouts in other stores like Stop & Shop , Theresa added that she would wait "triple the amount of time" to checkout just to not support self-checkouts. It wouldn't be the first time Home Depot shoppers have issued complaints about self-checkout in recent months. CART CHAOS Some carts at the home improvement retailer now have locking technology to prevent theft. Earlier this month, a customer who bought two faucet covers worth $5 claimed her cart was locked after paying for her items and attempting to exit the store. It allegedly prompted an employee to come over and verify before digitally unlocking the cart. Retailers are evolving their self-checkout strategy in an effort to speed up checkout times and reduce theft. Walmart shoppers were shocked when self-checkout lanes at various locations were made available only for Walmart+ members. Other customers reported that self-checkout was closed during specific hours, and more cashiers were offered instead. While shoppers feared that shoplifting fueled the updates, a Walmart spokesperson revealed that store managers are simply experimenting with ways to improve checkout performance. One bizarre experiment included an RFID-powered self-checkout kiosk that would stop the fiercely contested receipt checks. However, that test run has been phased out. At Target, items are being limited at self-checkout. Last fall, the brand surveyed new express self-checkout lanes across 200 stores with 10 items or less for more convenience. As of March 2024, this policy has been expanded across 2,000 stores in the US. Shoppers have also spotted their local Walmart stores restricting customers to 15 items or less to use self-checkout machines. The shopper, Patrica, said she'd be "going to Lowe's in the future" in a post on X. "They don't treat customers like thieves," she fumed. SCREAM AND SHOUT In October, a customer, Carl, claimed in a post on X that the Home Depot employees at the self-checkout area within his store would yell at him "like going through a TSA line." It too frustrated him so much that he said he would "drive a little farther to Lowe's now" instead. Home Depot responded to Carl and empathized, noting it would take action to re-train staff. "I understand your frustration with the self-checkout," a spokesperson replied. "Thank you for sharing your experience. We will use this feedback as an internal coaching opportunity." The U.S. Sun previously contacted Home Depot for more information on the situation but did not hear back. Read More on The US Sun Another shopper was furious recently after they were allegedly refused a refund for a specific reason. Home Depot will also temporarily close all of its over 2,000 stores nationwide in the coming days, and Lowe's won't be available either.It's important to approach health recommendations with a critical eye and prioritize evidence-based practices that support your overall well-being.

President-elect Donald Trump may have campaigned hard against high inflation, but by the time of his Nov. 5 election victory financial professionals had moved on from rising prices and begun worrying about rising U.S. debt, possible recession, and risks to global trade as among the top threats to the stability of the financial sector, according to a new Federal Reserve survey released on Friday. "Concerns over U.S. fiscal debt sustainability was the top-cited risk. It was noted that increased Treasury issuance could begin to crowd out private investment or constrain policy responses in an economic downturn ," the U.S. central bank survey found, while a potential weakening of the economy and possibility of a global trade war moved higher on the list of worries. These concerns have also been reflected in recent bond market behavior, with yields on 10-year Treasury notes, for instance, rising sharply over the last two months despite the Fed having cut its benchmark lending rate twice by a total of 75 basis points. Alongside that, an estimate of Treasury term premium - a measure of the compensation that investors require to hold longer-term Treasury securities rather than shorter-term ones - was near the top of its range since 2010. Moreover, measures of interest rate volatility were above historic norms, in part due to "high uncertainty about the economic outlook and the associated path of monetary policy as well as heightened sensitivity to news about output growth, inflation, and the supply of Treasury securities." Meanwhile a potential weakening in the economy and the possibility of a global trade war moved higher on the list of worries.

"Others noted that a deterioration in global trade could depress economic activity and raise the risk of a downturn." "Persistent inflation" alongside tight Fed monetary policy had been cited as the top risk in a prior survey issued in the spring, but fell to sixth place, alongside global trade, in the current poll. TRUMP POLICIES The survey, published as part of the Fed's biannual financial stability report , was conducted among two dozen financial sector participants and observers from August to October. While that preceded Trump's election win, the poll highlights issues likely to be central in coming debates on taxes, tariffs, and other economic issues. Some economists see Trump's anticipated combination of tax cuts and import tariffs as potentially fueling both inflation and already large federal deficits at a time when bond markets have been keeping yields elevated on U.S. Treasury bonds. The list of near-term risks to stability published on Friday is reminiscent of the two 2019 financial stability reports, when "trade frictions" were the top concern after Trump had launched a trade war with China and had forced Mexico and Canada to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement. The document also shows Trump inheriting a financial system that seems largely solid from many perspectives, but with some notable pressures emerging. Asset values "remained elevated," the report concluded, a concern since rich pricing can mean steeper reversals if sentiment or conditions change, with liquidity low and commercial property prices under stress. Household borrowing was "modest," but delinquency was rising on some types of loans, and businesses had borrowed heavily. Banks, many of them under Fed supervision with closely watched capital levels, "remained sound and resilient." One particular asset class, the "stablecoins" used as part of the cryptocurrency system, was called out as both growing and "vulnerable to runs.

Whether you’re a seasoned trader or a newbie trying to figure out where to park your cash, there’s one undeniable truth: timing is everything. Miss a presale, a launch, or a breakout, and you could be waving goodbye to those life-changing returns before they even have a chance to land in your wallet. But hey, don’t sweat it—because this list has got you covered. Today, we’re diving into five altcoins that have been making serious noise. These tokens aren’t just hype; they’ve got the tech, the teams, and the buzz to back them up. We’ll kick things off with Qubetics ($TICS), a presale star promising mind-blowing ROI, and then explore fan favourites like Avalanche (AVAX), Polkadot (DOT), and Cardano (ADA). Let’s get into it. 1. Qubetics ($TICS): The Future of Web3 Innovation Is Here If you’ve been snoozing on Qubetics, it’s time to wake up. This isn’t just another token—it’s the world’s first Web3 aggregator, and it’s making waves with its groundbreaking platform and user-friendly tools. At the heart of Qubetics’ ecosystem is QubeQode IDE , a game-changing development tool that’s making blockchain development accessible for everyone. Imagine you’re a small business owner looking to build a decentralised app but don’t have the tech chops to code from scratch. With QubeQode, you’re covered. From drag-and-drop interfaces to pre-coded templates, this IDE lets you bring your Web3 ideas to life with zero stress. A coffee shop in Seattle could create a loyalty rewards system on the blockchain in hours, while a non-profit in New York could launch a transparent donation tracking platform in days. The numbers don’t lie. The Qubetics presale is in its 10th stage, with over 261 million tokens sold to 5,900 holders, raising more than $4.2 million. Currently, $TICS tokens are priced at $0.025, but here’s the kicker: the price is set to jump by 10% this weekend. Analysts are predicting ROI as high as 58,213% after the mainnet launch. Got $5,500 to spare? That could turn into over $3 million if $TICS hits its $15 projection. Wild, right? Qubetics made this list because it’s not just a token; it’s a revolution. The platform’s innovation and usability are lighting up the crypto scene like fireworks on the Fourth of July. 2. Avalanche (AVAX): The King of Scalability Next up is Avalanche (AVAX), a name that’s been buzzing in the crypto community for its lightning-fast transaction speeds and eco-friendly consensus mechanism. Avalanche is positioning itself as the go-to platform for developers who need scalability without sacrificing security. What’s new with Avalanche? The blockchain recently unveiled Avalanche Evergreen, a suite of tools tailored for enterprises diving into decentralised finance (DeFi). Big players in the financial world, like institutions and hedge funds, are starting to experiment with these tools, signalling massive adoption potential. And let’s not forget subnets, a feature that lets developers launch customised blockchains on Avalanche. The price of AVAX has been holding strong, hovering around $18.35 as of late November. Analysts are bullish, with some predicting a climb back to its all-time high of $146 during the next bull run. If you snag AVAX now, you’re buying into a solid infrastructure project with real-world utility. Avalanche deserves a spot on this list because it’s all about performance. It’s fast, secure, and poised to become a DeFi juggernaut as institutions wake up to its potential. 3. Polkadot (DOT): The Blockchain Whisperer Ever wondered what would happen if all blockchains could seamlessly talk to each other? That’s the dream Polkadot (DOT) is bringing to life. Polkadot’s parachain technology connects disparate blockchains, making it a vital piece of the Web3 puzzle. Recently, Polkadot has been making headlines for its partnerships with projects focused on green energy and sustainable tech. The ecosystem’s growth is reflected in its Total Value Locked (TVL), which climbed by 12% in November to reach $12.45 billion. The DOT token itself has seen a 44% weekly surge, trading at $8.18 at the time of writing. Here’s why you should keep an eye on Polkadot: Interoperability isn’t a buzzword; it’s the future. Polkadot isn’t just another blockchain—it’s the blockchain of blockchains. Polkadot earned its spot here because it’s solving one of crypto’s biggest challenges: connecting everything. If Web3 is a puzzle, DOT is the missing piece. 4. Cardano (ADA): Smart Contracts Made Smarter Let’s talk about Cardano (ADA), the blockchain that takes its time but gets it right. Known for its peer-reviewed approach to development, Cardano has been quietly but steadily building a powerhouse ecosystem. Cardano’s latest updates have been all about scalability and interoperability. The platform recently launched Hydra, a layer-2 solution designed to supercharge transaction speeds. With ADA currently trading at $0.76, analysts see this as a bargain. Some predict it could hit $5 in the next market cycle, offering significant upside for patient investors. Here’s a thought: What if Cardano’s slow-and-steady philosophy is exactly what the crypto world needs? In a market flooded with quick fixes, ADA’s methodical approach stands out. Cardano is on this list because it’s the tortoise in a race full of hares. Its focus on long-term sustainability makes it a favourite among savvy investors. Why These Coins? The Wrap-Up You Need Whether you’re into presales, high-speed blockchains, or groundbreaking interoperability, this list has something for everyone. From Qubetics ($TICS) , with its revolutionary Web3 tools and jaw-dropping ROI potential, to established players like Avalanche (AVAX), Polkadot (DOT), and Cardano (ADA), these projects are setting the stage for crypto’s next big chapter. Don’t wait too long to act. The crypto market moves fast, and opportunities like the Qubetics presale don’t come around often. Curious to see why analysts are calling $TICS the investment opportunity of a lifetime? Check out the full breakdown in this exclusive video .
