It is waitress's. All English nouns form the possessive singular by adding -'s. Singulars ending in a sibilant also sound gain a syllable thereby. Thus, fox's is pronounced foxes. Waitress's is pronounced waitresses. If, as some claim, waitress' were the correct spelling of a word pronounced waitresses, then boy' would also be the correct spelling of a word pronounced boys.
