the bakery

Hi everybody, i was reading an interesting magazine and i want to share some information that i might think is useful.

RSPCA - Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
I'm gonna ring the RSPCA and we'll have them round like a shot
mean-tight-fisted = opposite of generous.
split hairs- focus on insignificant differences.
to take pride in = be proud of
yeast = fungus that causes bread to expand.
spongy = esponjoso.
bagel
pittance - pathetic salary.
to cramp s.o.'s style = make s.o. feel uncomfortable.
let off = give me a break, don't pressure me.

Well the conversation was taken place in a bakery between 2 people, the owner's son called Terry, and a supervisor. There was a problem because Terry did his duties very bad that day so the supervisor talked to him and told him that he didn't put syrup to the dough so that they couldn't sell the bagels to the customers, and well Terry answered that he doesn't like to be a baker and he doesn't care to be here. He wants to be a jet fighter.
Terry says to the supervisor that he's a loser, earns a pittance and don't go any further. The supervisors says that working there is not a matter of money but a matter of enjoying the job.
Well at the end they come up with an agreement in which Terry is not gonna do anything in the job, and he is going to be out of the business during working hours and 5 minutes before ends his working time he will come back work from the streets to sign a book.
