I’m so frustrated please help I work at a fast food place. I take orders (we are required to read them back) I can’t say simple things like “would you like onions with that?” “Would that be for here”. It’s so frustrating. This past week it has gotten worse, I can’t get ANYTHING out. It’s embarrassing and it literally makes me want to cry. I’ve had a stutter all my life but it has never been so bad to the point of people not understanding what I am saying and me not being able to get anything out for 1 minute. It’s worse when people stay there and wait for me to finish what I am saying, they just smile almost like they want to laugh. I can’t even order food when I want it. I’m just so frustrated I need help to get it to at least manageable asap.
