Sure, technically, but I doubt it’s always on purpose.

Yeh, fraud implies/requires intent.

For a criminal charge, absolutely, and that’s as it should be. But in lay terms there is a bit of a grey area. I think you can be an overworked bartender who at some level does realise that the pour isn’t 100% up to the line (so the customer won’t be getting the full pint they ordered), but is too busy or distracted or lazy to really give a shit about making it exactly perfect. Who among us would make every burger perfect if we worked fast food? None, but it’s technically illegal in this case. But a punter who’d send a pint back for being less than an ounce under is pretty rare, nobody really cares that much.
I think the real news is that the average pub goer is spending almost three grand a year. Jfc.
