Should I disclose my stutter in a job interview?

Should I disclose my stutter in a job interview? I have a interview for a fast food restaurant in a few days, and I'm reasonably confident that I will get the job. My stutter is incredibly inconsistent. I can go days without it appearing and then I have days where I get stuck on every other sentence. I have the most trouble with blocking, especially when I can't work around words when I'm repeating orders back to people, or relaying information that has to be said a certain way. When I block, my whole body literally gets stuck. I can't move my face or body until I get the word out or quit. In the past I have had trouble stuttering at work, but I think it bothers me more than anyone else. I just don't know if I should disclose it up front or wait for a bad day for them to notice, and then explain it. I also will without a doubt stutter if I bring it up in the interview because I've never been able to talk about stuttering without stuttering.
