It makes me think of a machine, not a person. I prefer to just use "staff"

    Yeah, I tend to use "staff" or sometimes "waitstaff" to describe them, particularly in cafes, where the owner and/or manager might also be waiting tables. "Waiter" or "waitress" I'd mostly use when recounting something that happened while eating out, and I'm trying to specify who's who in the story.
