It doesn't work that way. Wages are based on competition between businesses. Businesses pay what the market demands. if the minimum wage applies to all businesses then people will not be able to just walk away from a job to get better pay from another company.
They demand more by leaving. If I am not making 15$ working a job that requires some skill and stress why wouldn't I leave knowing literally any job I get will pay the same? Your delusional if you don't think it will push all wages higher? Your all for competition among businesses, yet you want to eliminate the competition for higher pay by just giving it to people. That is interesting to me.
