Do people think less of people who stutter?

Do people think less of people who stutter? I have a stutter and at my work it requires a lot of talking. I’m a cashier and also have to use the radio a lot. For the most part it’s ok. Everyone there treats me as if I was a normal person, cause most people have the brains to know a stutter doesn’t change how a person thinks or acts. I have a hard time saying the word “jewelry” I have to push it out with all my force to be able to say it because it always blocks my throat. Today a customer asked for help in jewelry so I asked over the radio “can someone help a customer over in” and then I got stuck on that stupid word and went “jewl jewl, uh jewl” And then did that little like gag tongue thing when people get hung on a word and went “ugh JEWLRY and laughed while I did it and chuckled and said please and thanks. I played it off cool and just laughed it off to show I was aware of it but didn’t take it seriously. After that everyone treated me the same and didn’t act differently so I don’t think it was a big deal. But do people think less when things like this happen? Or is it all in my mind?
