Waiter isn't derogatory. It's sexist. They call them all "waitpersons"

I don't. It's either a waiter or a waitress. And if that offend those
present, tough ****.
Anything polite to get their attention.
"Waiter"
"Waitress"
"Garcon"
"Miss"
"Mister"
"Honey"
"Doll"
"Friend"
"Pal"
"Joe"
"Mac"
"Bub"
Depends how you say it. And a smile can erase misinterpretation.
The biggest politeness is in the tip.
But if you have to actually think about how to address somebody,
you've probably already lost the PC battle.
