I just found out my new job doesn’t allow me to take breaks/lunch breaks

I am beyond pissed. I have been looking for a job for about a month, finally interviewed for a 7-3 job with ok pay, I specifically mentioned in the interview I was happy the location was 4 minutes from my house as I could use my 30 minute lunch break to go home and take my dogs out so they didn’t have to be crated 8 hours straight. The manager laughed and agreed with me. I got a second interview, and they reached back out with an offer but changed the shift to the evening shift.

I got there today for my first day of training and the topic of lunch or something came up again and I mentioned the exact same thing, that I was glad it was close so I could just go home on my break for my dogs. And my manager straight up told me I was not allowed to leave as no one would cover the desk and I have to eat in the office behind front desk and stop eating to go o it and help people.
8 hours and I don’t get a single break, can’t even go let my poor dogs go pee….they did NOT disclose this in either of the 2 interviews, nor the 1 hour orientation.

I am so beyond pissed right now. I really want to quit but this is the only job to give me an offer in a month of applying other than UPS warehouse (which doesn’t guarantee anymore than 3.5 hours a day)
