Hmm. Good one. But if I were phrasing that I'd say:
Along with changing others' minds, that clerk changed mine as well.

They are both incorrect. The clerk HAS changed my mind.

First one is correct as others' implies others' minds. The second one implies that he will change the others rather than their minds.

lol neither.

they're both right.
the first one shows ownership meaning he will change other people's minds
the second means he will change other minds
minds can be the noun all by itself or it can belong to an understood noun "other people" either way works :)

The first one sounds more grammatically correct to me.

Otrhers is not possessive in this instance. That should answer your question...
