ARBY'S has been accused of “predatory inflation” after an angry customer discovered “much smaller” portions despite price increases.
Customers have revealed they felt misled after relying on the fast food chain's “consistent sizes”.

A Queens woman claims the sandwich shop giant reduced the size of its fries and drinks without lowering the price.
The brand never alerted customers according to NYPost.
Now, a woman has started a class-action lawsuit that states the drop in size “may never go unnoticed” by fast food fans.
He continues: “[Arby’s purchasers] “You might just be left with a strange feeling, a lack of satiety, even though that was due to… downsizing.”
On behalf of Melissa Nelson, of Ridgewood, attorneys compared nutritional information for different portions of French fries offered at the chain.
In doing so, they discovered that baby fries replaced the new baby fries.
It seems that this is not all, as the old small has become the new middleman and the old middleman has become the new big one.
The accusations also indicate that something similar happened with the beverages, and that this was done “without correspondence, price reduction, or disclosure to its customers.”
Starting prices for French fries at Arby's now cost $3.74, with a large offer at $4.99.
It comes after The Post found that all three sizes contain roughly the same amount of fries.
Some took to social media to post their experience at the fast food chain.
One user on X, formerly known as Twitter, wrote: “Last night was Arby'QFirst time in maybe a year. Market fresh combo order size M, 4 pieces mozzarella sticks, shake M.
“$23.49, and this same meal was less than $15 the last time I went. The worst thing is drinking, shaking, French fries The sizes of the sticks were all smaller, shrinkage? Nice to know you.”
Another person commented: “deflation Find out in Arby'Q today. I don't blame them. But it's bad nonetheless.”
The Sun has contacted Arby's for comment.
