This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It isn't sustainable. No clerk will take the bet more than once. Also, the clerk doesn't have to take the bet to interpret it as bribery and call the cops on you. In addition, there's the risk of the clerk simply not honoring the bet.
How would it be bribery? If you're not over 21 you give them money and have to leave?
It could be constructed as an attempt at bribery. You see, when you bribe somebody, you can't just go up to them, and tell them "Here's a hundred bucks, look the other way". Because, what if you're an undercover cop? You need to offer the money in a way that offers plausible deniability. So, the next step could be to show a poorly counterfeited id that says you're only 21, with the implied subtext being, "I'm giving you 100$, but in exchange you don't look too closely at my false id". Of course, there's always a risk that the person you're trying to bribe doesn't catch on.
Yeah but then if they pass your id and agree to the bribery they'll give you the 100$? It's the wrong way around to be bribery.
Bribery needs pass and pay, this is pass or pay. The incentive for the storekeeper is to not sell to you and get the money.
The bet is that Anon is 24, but if the id says they're 21, then they're of drinking age, but still lose the bet, so the clerk gets the money. ID is passed, and money is paid.
I see. That does seem far fetched though, and really only holds any plausability once your ID doesn't match your own claim.
Yes, it's so far fetched that Anon expects the cops to be called.
How is it related to bribery?
