I’m almost 21 and have had 4 jobs. 2 with little to no talking (dishwasher and currently Amazon) and 2 where talking is absolutely required (Student worker in my schools dining hall and hosting at a restaurant). Of all the jobs I’ve had I actually liked the very social ones a lot better just for the human connection. Luckily as I’ve gotten older I’ve become a very outgoing person and will talk to anyone with no fear and I just immediately tell them I have a stutter, especially in more formal situations. Something I also learned was that the majority of people genuinely do not care, in my experience some people actually like my stutter since they see it as charming or endearing sometimes. Will some people think it’s weird? Absolutely. Will that affect your job performance or how you do your job? As long as you don’t get in your head about it and do what you’re supposed to do, it doesn’t matter.
