Hey, I was considering making an individual post out of this topic to connect with stutterers starting new jobs. I wasn’t a cashier but I worked at Best Buy. I was sometimes considered the gaming supervisor so I handled all of the gaming tasks - new releases, organizing, security, etc. During this job I usually worked before the store opened but it gradually grew into the hours after the store opened. I was very nervous at first communicating with customers. To ease the pressure I felt when asked a question, (depending on the question) I would always inform them that I was new working there and gave them my best opinion/advice on it. Usually customers were considerate enough to leave me alone once I informed them I was new. After a while, my confidence and inclusion in the work environment increased and so did my fluency. I mainly sticked to gaming as it was my department and I was comfortable talking to customers about it since I knew the ins and outs of it. After a certain point, I began actively looking to help out customers. This was the biggest change in mental mindset, mainly due to my confidence of my work environment. Being more comfortable with your position and your experience takes time but trust me when I say it gets better as it betters fluency. I’m currently leaving my position at Best Buy in a couple weeks to start a new job at my Campus Gym. As of now, I’m feeling the same tension and anxiety of starting a new job that makes talking hard. But I know once I get comfortable with the environment, employees, and other students, I’ll be more fluent again. My advice to you, get to know your coworkers and ease into it. If you’re having trouble speaking, do something that releases the pressure of performance. Usually for some people, it’s prefacing their answer by explicitly stating that they have a stutter or like for me, stating I’m new. If you fear you’re going to have a block or anxiety is taking over, ask a coworker beforehand to maybe take over for a brief moment while you recollect yourself. I hope you do well tomorrow!
