I'll give you that.And that is exactly who most minimum wage workers are, teenagers, not adults, not people supporting a family, but teenagers.
Some would like to claim (pretend) that there is some large class of people trying to support a family on minimum wage, but that just isn't reality.
Most minimum-wage workers are not teenagers | Economic Policy Institute
Actually that's not true. Only about 20% of min wage earners are teenagers.
What I said is still mostly true. By the way, minimum wage earners make up about 2.3 percent of all hourly workers. Include all workers and that number drops. Doing anything for minimum wage workers is naught but a feel-good move.

If you need a person to ring up the extra value meals, you need them. Doesn't matter if their pay is $7/hr or $10.
Conversely, if you don't need a person you don't need them, even if they will work for free.

Which is true for some positions. However there are plently of jobs that are discretionary. At $4 an hour, I may hire someone to man the pumps at my gas station, believing having that curtsey for my customers is worth it, but at $7, that's too high and my pumps will just have to be self serve.
now tell me why someone serving you a burger doesnt deserve the same dignity that you enjoy?
There isnt a limitless ocean of fulfilling careers which people need only reach out and take, look at these underemployment numbers:
