What sort of agreement can you enter with someone if you don't know who they are?

Have you ever walked into a shop, bought some chocolate with cash, and walked out?

There you go, legally binding contract of sale, yet the seller has no idea who the buyer was.

Oh all right, I grant you can enter into agreements that the immediately terminate without any need to establish identity.

I was hoever not making an argument by induction, so leaving out the trivial case is not crucial to it.

It might help if you gave a couple of example situations that people could answer for.
