How do you deal with customers insulting you for your stutter? As the title suggest, this question is for workers that have a stutter. I get insulted by customers for my stutter all the time. They say I take too long to take their orders because of it. It really upsets me because I try really hard to suppress it, but when I get stressed out it comes out. How do you deal with people insulting you like that over something you can’t control? I haven’t talked to my manager about it because I felt so self conscious about it and felt so embarrassed.
