A friend taught me a good trick for kebab shops, ask for a medium doner and once they've dished it up as to change it to a large.

Fatso sandwich shop put a measley spread of chicken tika and refused to put more in so i walked

At the prices they charge i think i'd rather make-up a flask at home and take that out with me.

That is different though. You are ordering and paying for a pint. When you go to McDonalds (or similar) you ask for a small/medium/large rather than a pint. I suspect a full medium cup is pretty much a large.

It depends on the type of glass that the beer is served in.
If there is a line indicating 1 pint, then by law, the liquid quantity should reach this line and the head should be over the line.
However, if a glass that doesn't have a line measure (ie, the glass is exactly 1 pint in capacity), then the bar staff are allowed to leave a head on the beer provided that the liquid quantity is at least 95% of the capacity of the glass.

If it was so obviously under a pint such as an inch I would ask politely if it can be filled up and everyone is within their right to do this, it is better to let it settle a minute or two for this reason, but if we are just talking a couple of millimetres from the top of the glass and you do it every time you get the bar staff avoiding you lol (bubbles burst)

You have no consumer rights in this aspect.

I do this or similar on occasion, normally if I get particularly annoyed.

One occasion about 10 years ago I went to subway for the Sub of the day which I think was £1.99 at the time, I was asked if I wanted the cheese melted which I did. When I came to pay he was going to charge 30p for heating it and as such I said he could keep it then, he soon took the £1.99.

Recently I was walking down the high street and was approached by a member of staff handing out small samples of Bacon rolls, which I tried. I was also given a £1 off anything voucher, as I walked passed the store I decided I would have a Bacon Roll & a coffee as this was £2.50 so I figured minus £1 would be £1.50. When ordering I ensured my voucher was visible, (on a side note they had no ketchup, this started my annoyance), it comes to paying and I get "I don't think you can use the voucher with this", and they got "Don't worry I'll go elsewhere."
