Should I be paid to wait?

Should I be paid when I show up on time but then have to wait 20 minutes or more to clock in because my coworker who has the keys to the store is always late? I know if I was this consistently late I would get fired, but also I am spending my time and not getting paid for it. Posted while waiting outside listening to the phone ring off the hook Edit for context: this is a small pizza shop with 3 employees. The 2 owners have never had a restaurant before and took over this franchise a year ago. The most senior employee has been here for 2 months.
