the receipt your conscience prints long after the transaction closed

means A deep, gnawing regret for something you've done wrong, the kind that keeps revisiting you with guilt.

from From Latin 'remordere,' to bite back or bite again — 're-' (again) plus 'mordere' (to bite), the same root that gnaws through 'morsel' and 'mordant.' Remorse is literally the past sinking its teeth into you a second time, reaching English in the late Middle Ages by way of the medieval Latin 'remorsus' (a biting back) and Old French.
