God DAMN that sucks. If you're in America, I would definitely look at talking to the state employment office about your rights under the ADA. Fucking with the general public as a stutterer is a special layer of Hell. I was a convenience store clerk for almost 5 years in my early 20's and it taught me to truly hate the human race. Look in the manufacturing sector. I'm a qc inspector, have been for just over a decade now, and I love my current job. Started out as a shop ape (aka the dumb new guy doing random jobs around the shop), to machine operator, to machinist, and finally to quality. It is so much better than retail/customer service. The people who tend to work in shops are the odd, the infirm, the lightly crazy, the freshly out of jail; all people just like us who, for one reason or another, can't deal with the general public. Wonderful people, one and all, that will usually give you what ever respect you give them. The kindest, smartest people I've ever met are running mills and lathes in tiny machine shops tucked away in the back corner of some business park. I swear my stutter has helped me some in my career. I'm naturally quiet and inquisitive, a constant tinkerer that always wants to one-up themselves. A lot of that stems from my stutter. I've been tinkering on that mother fucker for 35 years. Most shops don't mind training a new hand as long as they have the right attitude. And you know what the right attitude is? Someone who knows how to shut the Hell up and follow directions. Seriously, shops love someone who doesn't want to talk all the time and is happy to work diligently on something by themselves. Too many people love to hang around and gossip, half -assing what ever they're working on. Look for machine shops that need a deburr person. Or a spot in packaging or shipping. If you're in the Indianapolis area, pm me. I know my shop is looking for new people and they don't mind training someone from zero. And here's a hug from me. I don't know you, but i DO love you. Please treat yourself kindly, you deserve it.
