0 a waiter or waitress (= a person whose job is to bring the food to customers at their tables in a restaurant), used so that you do not need to state what gender the person is:
I've never encountered a waitperson who was so rude about a simple order mistake!
Have the waitperson place half of the meal in a doggie bag for later.
Our waitperson was quite rushed when serving us and made sure that we knew our meal would take a while.
When dining in a restaurant that serves fish, inform the waitperson of your allergies so that precautions can be taken.
