I've always had jobs working with the public where I am selling them something or other situations that involve a lot of speaking. You will ALWAYS have rude people who will make a joke or say something demeaning about your stutter, but, these people will find anything about you to be rude about. If it wasn't the stutter, it would be something else eventually. Mostly, I've had very little negative experiences. I've found over the years just putting it out there that you have a stutter helps the situation. Whether you make a joke about it, or just tell them, it can put you both at ease. I would say go for it: you don't have to let it hold you back.
