I work in retail and often miss dinner because I'm working. I can't seem to think of meals that I can bring. We do have a microwave, but we don't have a refrigerator. I am also limited because I do not get a break, I have to eat between customers. Any ideas of what I can bring that is healthy and easy to eat, but doesn't require refrigeration?
It's only the law to have a scheduled lunch if you are over 8 hours. I am not over eight hours. I work 3-9:30.

Answer
Consider sandwiches and rolls.
If there is a place where you can keep food cool you could take a meal of leftovers from home or when you do cook a full meal make an extra portion and freeze.
During the day it may pay to keep them in a chilly bin. Thermos have a great range of insulated bags and boxes that will keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold.
There are numerous types of dried packet meals that just require boiling water.
From time to time you could make canned meals, just by opening a can of something like baked beans or a few cans that you can open to make your own meal. Canned sausages, canned peas and canned potatoes. (that would be too much for me using standard sized cans but you can get smaller cans of some foods)

edit.
Looking at your additional detail, have your cooked meal before work and just a lighter meal at dinner time, and as you only have to keep your meal for 3 hours, most foods will easily last that long.
Just remember that if you do have to serve a client to cover your foods
