My son's first job was at a pizza place when he was 15. He asked if I could take him to buy a PS game the weekend after he got paid. I asked him how many hours he worked (I knew it was less than 10). I told him he wouldn't have enough cash and he went through the whole "$7.55 times 9 hours" thing. 

He was disappointed when his $63.50 turned into about $47.
