			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few weeks ago I traveled to <font color="#008000">Vermont</font> to visit my Parents. In my flight travels, I had a connection in Washington/Reagan Airport. I was hungry and decided to peruse the concourse <strong>&#8220;Eats and Treats&#8221;</strong>. I saw the usual overpriced fare from burgers, chicken, sandwiches, etc.</p>
<p>Much to my surprise I saw <span id="more-15"></span>a <em>Mom &amp; Pop Sandwich Joint</em> called <a target="_blank" href="http://www.potbelly.com/" title="Potbelly Sandwich Works">Potbelly Sandwich Works</a>. They&#8217;re main menu board had blaring $3.99, I said &#8220;What.&#8221; It was true the sandwiches were that cheap/inexpensive at the Airport. And a banana was under a buck. How was the sandwich you say? I got the special peppers mix on it and it was &#8220;<em>Delish</em>&#8220;. Way to go Potbelly!<br />

<p>Then getting back to the Burlington Airport at the end of my trip I dropped off the Budget Rent a Car I had. I rented a midsize, nothing fancy for three days. But when the rang up the total just under $66. That included the airport taxes and everything. I&#8217;ve paid that much before for just one day. Once again, great dollar for the money!<br />

<strong>BUT</strong>, are those the smartest prices that the busineses should be charging? I say no. I would pay Potbelly $4.99, even $5.99 for that sandwich, especially since it was in the airport. For the rental car,Â I would pay Budget anywhere from $86 to $126. Its all about taking care of the customer and maximizing your profit potential. They leave alot of money on the table each day. <font color="#0000ff"><strong>How much would you pay?</strong></font></p>
<p><strong>Price Does Matter,<br />
