Can my manager require me to be “at my desk and ready to work” at my start time in the state of FL?

My manager has consistently stated that we should be at our desks and ready to work at our start time of 9 am. To be clear, no one is ever late. What she wants is for us to come in before 9 to put our lunches in the fridge, use the restroom, make a coffee, etc. before 9 am. My place of employment is not even open to the public for the first hour; that hour is just for prepping for the day (which consists of making sure the space is set up in case closing shift was busy and checking our emails) so this feels particularly micro-managey. Can my my manager legally require this?
