I usually workaround either by just pointing at the tray and say something like ‘I’ll have the pasta’ or ‘same again please’ if the person before me orders the same. If ordering off a menu I just stammer through it.

Oddly enough I stammer more with service staff than with peers or superiors (where swearing is not always an option). While there definitely some issue around making certain sounds aided by the swearing there is also a psychological aspect I imagine.
