So after a great Christmas and my first ever attempt to pull somewhat of a fast one.. It didn't matter, the tablet I got mom was a lemon.. How did I know it was a lemon?? First off because I bought it.. It was a fairly inexpensive one, although the original price tag, the MSRP, was $199 so it was fairly expensive for being a cheapie.. But when it went toes up I checked the low rating on the site I bought it (walmart) and found the numbers were not very exciting although they were quite high back in the months prior to getting it.. Back in June I was looking at it and then it was $129 or $124 depending what site I looked at (Amazon or Walmart) and the reviews were really good on it.. I would say the percentage was upper 80% favorable, and that remained that way until... About Christmas time where everything fell apart.. Why the positive reviews started to fall?? The tablets failed.. When I took it in Thursday I was up against it time wise.. I had seen where I had until the ninth to get in in and I thought why not get it over with.. Taking it in I thought this could go either one of two ways, either they would give me my money back or.. NOT.. And as I presented the tablet, reboxed to the point where you couldn't tell it had ever been opened, the lady said we can't refund at all, I got it on the 12 of December but it wasn't bothered with until Christmas day, so by that logic it was out of time by the 27th.. But I checked the website and that said the would deal with refunds through 15 days after the 25th.. Or the 26th being day one. The ninth being 15.. So she called the electronics guy.. He comes and I think there were two or three models of different electronic toys (gadgets) that were expected to be troubles and the RCA tablets (there were two different kinds, there was the 7 inch and the 10 inch which is the one I got) And so when he saw the box he said that didn't surprise him, mine was the third or forth one that had been returned.. So what are we going to do about this thing?? I think there was hesitation, mostly because I think they were tired of returns on the RCA lemons and said they really couldn't do anything about this.. I said you mean I can't get my money back, figuring they might make a big deal of it, or they were waiting for me to blow my top.. I didn't, I said well I can't get it to even turn on.. And since it is basically trash I thought I could take it to the trash dumpster in town.. That was an idea but I decided to just tell them I didn't want it, they could have it, and turned and walked away.. How much money did I just flush down the drain?? The guy from the electronics department caught up with me and said they would refund all of the money.. Very well then, what was the big hold up then?? After I got home I thought I should write a letter to my niece and ream her out for the tablet going bad.. She works at another walmart in another town that isn't quite open yest... really give her the what for as it were and then just tell her at the end of the letter, hey I know it's not your fault, but you better get ready for people to blame you for building lemons like this because even though walmart doesn't make this broken crap, they will blame her for it.. That's just how stupid people are.. I never try to make it sound like I'm blaming any store for something being broken, and try to be cool about it and never treat the people there at any store like shit, they would likely rather be anywhere but there but.. What's that smell???

(P.S. What is that smell?? I got another package of those incense stick things.. They smell so good when they are in the packaging, but light them up and it literally just smells like a stick is burning.. Yeah, I like the smell before they burn but no matter what or where I get these it's the smoke I smell first.. And it lingers a bit too long.. These I got the other day I thought might be better smelling.. Guess again..)
