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:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

He probably did not think anon was homeless, a lot of food and retail workers and owners just want to help you get what you need and go.

Go back and tip them, but maybe shower first next time.

I would pay them back generously the next time I can if this happened to me. Businesses where I'm from refuse to help even if you were $0.25 short from the total

Nobody carries quarters in 2024.

Something similar happened to me. When I was walking home from high school I found a quarter on the ground. I was craving potato salad so I went to a deli and asked them for a quarter's worth of it (they sold by weight). The guy at the counter looked really pensive and then was like "you know what, take it for free". He definitely thought I was a homeless teenager. I lived a block away and had for over a decade, and I went there all the time. Super awkward.

Happened to me in college at the dollar store. Had like 10 things and only quarters. Went back the next day to get 10 more things with those quarters I saved
