1. There's no way that thing was regularly priced at only 89¢. This had to be some kind of promotion while it was "new".
2. I don't think anyone orders just one of these by itself. It comes bundled into several meal deals that all cost <$10, where you're effectively paying as little as $2-$3 for this item.
Although I definitely think the regular price shown here is absurd. And I see a lot of fast food places doing this, where you basically have to buy a meal package or else you're getting ripped off. And I don't understand why.

Profit margins making it worth it. They need $X amount for a sale to make a profit, especially considering credit cards. Say they want every customer to give them at least $2 in profit for a sale. Say a double cheeseburger costs $1.00 to make. So it costs $3.50 retail to account for a 2x markup plus extra for credit card fees. Or you can throw on another $2.00 in extras for a "meal deal" or whatever. Soda, fries, a few chicken nuggets.
Now you charge them $6.00. Similar profit margin, but the customer feels like they're getting "more" and the cheeseburger seems cheap instead of expensive. and are more likely to order from you. But whether they order the meal deal, or just the single cheeseburger, you are making your $2.00 per order.
I used to buy ala carte all the time back in my school days. But they want you to bundle so they get higher unit sales by transaction. The jokes on them however because I'm more likely to pack drinks and snacks with me instead of stopping in for some fast calories.
You must be really young fren. At around the same time you could still get a box of 10-12 tacos for $9.99. Now I believe it’s 12 for $20, and there is less meat on them for sure.
Pretty crazy this article was just written. Right on time for this discussion. Hehe.
The regular tacos were 29c and 39c every Tuesday I think. The 7 layer burrito was under $2. No single item on the menu besides the big salads cost more than $3. Most of the cobo meals were under $5. I know this because I went there every time I went rollerblading around Grove City.
