Also, higher minimum wage means higher cost of goods. If grocery stores are forced to pay the 18 year old college kid working the register $15/hour, guess what? The cost of basic groceries will also go up.
Minimum wage stays down because high school and college kids working in a gas station or at a fast food place don't need to make $15/hour.

Minimum wage increase or not, those jobs are going full automation soon. Shelf stockers will still exist, that's about it. And I cannot justify $15/hr for that job.
Retail is already dying due to Amazon. The kid working at the Gap now gets $15/hr? They'll just start shuddering stores and moving more online.

True but the distribution of wage increase and price increases means most of the citizens end up much better off.
A higher wage floor ripples up, increasing wages with inflation. That means more buying power, increased consumption, and less commercial debt. It's a net positive.
