Employer not paying you for the time it takes to change into uniforms?

Maybe it’s petty but it adds up. My fast food place requires you to wear uniforms- they make you buy the pants and they have the shirts and aprons at the store for you to change into. However they make you arrive early to your shift to change into them. They don’t allow you to clock in before you change, because the computers to clock in are behind the counter (not in the back room). Is this legal? It feels really unfair. Like if I have to come in at 7am I should get paid for the time I’m in there, including changing. Not be forced to come in at 6:50am to change and not get paid til 7. Tbf if I brought this up, I’d just get fired cuz there’s always a ton of people in my city desperate for jobs.
