Today, after paying for my groceries, I noticed that a bread-roll hadn't been charged. I felt guilty and went back to the register to pay for it. The cashier burst into derisive laughter and mockingly asked me if I was "running for Pope or something". FML

OP here. A few comments: the cashier was a guy, not a girl. I don't know why most of you think that. Also, there were two elderly people waiting in line who were laughing and berating me as some of the commenters here are doing. And I'm a woman from Belgium, not the Netherlands (but FML didn't ask for my country when I posted it). I WAS already out of the store and going home when I noticed it, so I needed to go back into the store, wait for a slow customer to pay while the rest of the cue was wondering why I was standing there like a complete idiot, and then explain to the cashier why I wanted to pay for the bread. By the way, the freshly baked, honestly-payed-for, Italian bun was delicious, after I had cleansed my palate from the disgusting comments I received.

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.

Whilst I admit that I wouldn't have gone back myself if it was just a bread roll from a chain store, I don't understand why you're getting shit for doing so. It's pretty depressing that people actually mock you for trying to be nice. Ignore them; you did a good thing.

Report her to management. With that attitude she's, at the very least, an employee to keep an eye on; with that behavior she might even get written up.

Also, this reminds me of the time I went to a local thrift store (Deseret Industries, for the Utahns in the audience). I was on a bicycle that day, my only transportation at the time, and I had a lot of stuff. The cashier rung me up and helped me get it all on my bike and secured so it wouldn't fall. I was halfway home before I realized I never paid for it, so back I went, had to get rung up again and this time I paid for it all.

With all the horrible, evil shit that goes on in this world, someone who makes fun of accidentally not paying for a loaf of bread "scares" you. Good grief! People with a black and white view of the world scare me.

Yes, you did the honourable thing of paying for a bread roll. He had no right to laugh.
