I think that the businesses with a good customer service, over-delivering value services and quality products will survive no matter what. Price games are the matter of the past…

Hi,

I don’t mind paying a little more when the service is way better than the other guy.

That is true. And lots of people don’t buy on price, but service. Best to choose something that you can sell on your personality and service. No way for the little guy to win on price.

The Chevron across the street had one of those digital price displays. I bet the shell employees got pretty riled up when everytime they walked out and reached way up high to change the price, someone in chevron would just push a button, lol.

One cent lower? Granted people usually buy 10 gallons or more at a time, but with gas prices as they are these days, is saving 10, 15, 25 cents even worth crossing traffic for any more? One cent per gallon is less than one percent – not a whole lot of incentive there.

But your point is that price isn’t the only thing people use to determine where to buy products and services, and that’s very valid.
