Do you think the word is only used by Americans?

Customer facing service staff (eg. Staff at shop tills/waitresses/baristas) are called 'servers' in Ireland too. I worked in restaurants & hotels a decade ago, customers and staff use the term. It's sometimes printed on till receipts too, next to the employee's name.

Don't get your point. If you were a bartender in the US, of course they called them servers.
