| Not quite sure how long a break you need for "huge queues to form?
What happens if you need to go to the loo?
I have been self employed in a retail store when no other staff were on & although it is not ideal, I have managed to get by.
These days it only takes 10 seconds to do a test.
I would usually keep some sweets under the counter. Small ones so I could eat them discretely if necessary.
Your employer will be influenced by who else is available. Is there anyone who can cover for you for a few minutes?
If not they will consider it a matter of practicality.
they should be considering your needs, but will also expect you to consider theirs.
As Dan G , I also do not generally tell employers about my condition - at least until I have been there for a while. I have a personal policy of never asking for special conditions regular staff do not have. The reason is that I believe it encourages employers to be predjudiced about employing others with D in the future if it is seen to have hassles for them.
