Anyone who's ever been to hotel school (which is a whole other story) will put their photo on their resume and I reckon it's just a dumb idea. Unconscious (and conscious) bias already impacts recruitment so much, why give them more opportunities to cross you off the list before an interview?

In Tasmania, it's still common to use to term "cordial", for example:

(Asking for a Coca Cola, Solo, etc.)
"Can I have a can of cordial?"

(Asking for Cottees, etc.)
"Can I have a drink of water cordial?"

I don't hear people use "cordial" in Victoria. Is this used in other states?

Jeepers. I'm glad I don't drink water cordial, that could get embarrassing living in Melbourne!

The empty cordial bottle is an unsung hero of Australian sport, until everyone got fancy with water bottles that was how you got a drink on the field.

Cordial for Cottees, yes.

Cordial for soft drinks, what the ****?

 

[Engimal v3]

Cordial for Cottees, yes.

Interesting haha
We will also use "fizzy cordial" if we need to be specific. People in Melbourne seem to say "soft drink", which I always thought sounded like an Americanisation.

Cool drink seems to be what more of the older generation call it in WA. I haven't used it in a long time. I usually just say soft drink.
