"Waitress" gets workout in CJ Cumberland Brews rev

I find myself wondering just what nits went unmentioned to hold the rating down to a flat three stars.

I don't remember. Has Marty ever given a pub more than 3? Could it be that unless you are white-tablecloth you can't get more than a 3 because of your "class" of eatery? Example: Junior's Diner serves what absolutely everyone agrees is the best burger in town with the best service in town and absolutely no other nits. Would he get more than a 3 from Marty solely because it's a diner?

Well IMHO..Waitress is better than "Hey Toot's" or "Baby" or anything else some uncouth patrons may call their server.

As a chef, I have worse names that I usually call them by.....(In my mind of course!)

I think "waitress" is politically incorrect if used to refer to a non-specific server, but there it seems to be completely correct when referring to a female server or waitstaff employee. What is so wrong with with a gender reference so long as it is accurate?

Being in the travel industry, the term "steward/stewardess" has grown outdated as much for the fact that it didn't reflect the additional duties a flight attendant is responsible for - safety, security, etc., as it has for the gender references. The fact that an as-yet commonly accepted generic reference of "wait staff" indicates a similar recognition of the expansion of job duties doesn't exist in the restaurant industry.

What is the politically correct term for host/hostess?

Guest usher? Oh-I guess that would be ushperson.

I used to hate it when customers called me waitress.

If you hadn't insisted on wearing that cunning little frock to work, it probably wouldn't have been so much of a problem ...
