Sitting During Work?

I’m a young person working as a cashier for the first time at a new place. While working my 6 hour shift, I was not allowed to sit or even lean against the counter because my back would be towards the door. Every day I come home with my feet hurting like crazy and I starting to get blisters. I admit I’m not the most in shape I have ever been, but would it be unreasonable to ask for a chair to sit in between customers? I’m totally cool with standing while actively working, I just am not willing to stand for hours on end when no customers are coming in.
