When you have to wait for the waiter in a restaurant, you become the waiter.

This is why we are called "Servers".

Cited from 'ENGLISH LANGUAGE & USAGE':

"In New York (where those who are not "politically correct" are social pariahs) most corporate-run eating establishments prefer their wait-staff are referred to as "servers". However, in a private restaurant, (formal or informal) unless someone introduces themselves as "your server", it is still proper to say "Waiter," "Waitress," or "Bus boy/girl". "Captain" and "Maitre d'" are unchanged for male and female.".

They are both correct, only on their own way.
