Then I go help customers and contractors with their orders. I take out the garbages in the washrooms and out in the store every closing and sweep the floors.

My co-workers are starting to just leave stuff for me (taking advantage) even though it is their responsibility to put away stock and also clean.

I know I've been working for only 6 months, but I think I deserve it.
I think MindBomber sums it up. Sure, go ahead and try to ask your manager for a rise, chances are, you won't get it, or worst off, your manager will be and tell you that you can quit so that he can hire another person who is willing to do your "extra effort work" for the same pay. 6 months for any job is not enough time for raise, unless you helped the company tremendously (e.g. profit wise)

If you feel like your co-workers are taking advantage of you, then let your managers know.

During my hs/uni years of working PT, I never asked for a raise. Rather, I got on the good side of the manager that was in charge of scheduling, therefore I could get days off in advance with higher chances or asking for more hours when needed.
