A few weeks ago I traveled to 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 “Eats and Treats”<\/strong>. I saw the usual overpriced fare from burgers, chicken, sandwiches, etc.<\/p>\n

Much to my surprise I saw a Mom & Pop Sandwich Joint<\/em> called Potbelly Sandwich Works<\/a>. They’re main menu board had blaring $3.99, I said “What.” 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 “Delish<\/em>“. Way to go Potbelly!

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’ve paid that much before for just one day. Once again, great dollar for the money!

\nBUT<\/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,\u00c2 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. How much would you pay?<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
