Waiter/waitress or server, which do you use?

Lately, I've heard them being called servers by almost everyone. Is this yet another PC phrase to add to the long list of others, such as calling actresses actors?

I doubt it’s a PC thing only. It’s been server for the longest time… at least 20-some years.

But I prefer garçon.

@BillyMack Then perhaps my theory of it drifting across the pond holds water (pun intended)
I've worked as a chef in a local restaurant for just over two years and the term 'server' was only ever used in relation to the internet, now diners are increasingly using server instead of waiter/waitress
