You might as well try. If you can impress upon them that you're reliable and you'll show up eager to work, you might be able to get a little more. The key is to ask for something reasonable. If they're offering 15 you can counter with 18 and see how it goes. If you get anything more than 15 that's a win.
Entry level roles like this don't really have the ability to negotiate.

Genuine question, what leverage do you have to negotiate with? Typical answers are experience, knowledge, and ability to show value. Being new to the workforce, you are likely in a position to simply accept or deny what they offer, as you aren't yet in a position to be able to negotiate.
Depends which location nearer to large towns you could press. I would always gauge it towards whatever fast food is paying hourly in the area.

Research how much those in your position is getting paid near you and go from there. Look at experience too. Good luck!

I'm mainly looking to negotiate salary because im looking to be a part time worker
Hi, places like Dillon can't always negotiate because their corporate office sets the pay rates. The people that said you don't have any experience to show your worth to an employer are right. You're best route is to start there, work your butt off, be on time, don't call out at all, stay off your phone, stay busy and not stand around talking, and always be helpful to customers. After a few months, then you can ask for a raise.
What is Dillon’s ? Doesn’t hurt to ask?
