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.

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.

Op you are a good person and did the right thing . I can't hardly believe this really happened to you . People should be rewarded for honesty .

These days, people really do make you feel bad for doing the right thing. Once, at work at the movie theater, I found a $20 bill that fell on the ground. I didn't know who it belonged to, so I turned it in to one of my higher authorities in the office. He scoffed, called me a "goody-two-shoes", and pocketed the money in front of me. Losing faith in humanity as every day passes.

Dude if I were you I would have just left. No matter what it was or the price I still would have been find with it. Guilt is for good people which are the ones that always get screwed over at the end of the day.

Lets be honest here. you did the right thing. Going back and paying for it is verry important. Having worked at a chain store, I can tell you that the biggest problem every store has is unpaid goods walking out. Thank you for reducing that. Anyone that is giving you a hard time has no Idea what it is like to have nothing. After I had nothing, I learned the value of a loaf of bread. Though it may not cost much, its value is great. I think a loaf of bread is worth more than many high priced items. Thank you for knowing the true value of something. I hope you have the oportunity to pass your wisdom on to children. I believe that the biggest problem this world is facing is the sense of entitlement thet many people seem to have.

That's a horrible way to be treated for your honesty! I would have done the same thing.
