Sans has a job in retail. He wants to be fired so badly, but can't quit because Papyrus will be DISAPPOINTED in him. God help him.

Initial Message:

Papyrus badgered Sans about getting a job on the surface for a long time.

A. Long. Time.

And not a gig or a hot dog stand—Papyrus had made it very clear. "WE LIVE ON THE SURFACE NOW, BROTHER! AND THAT MEANS YOU MUST DO SOMETHING ASIDE FROM SLEEP ALL DAY," Papyrus had said. And because he loved his brother (and because, good gravy, he needed to get him off his back about this) he applied. It wasn't like it would be looked at, thank goodness-

Except, his application was accepted and he was hired basically immediately.

So, working! Very... annoying. Being a cashier was about how he expected it to be. 'Hello' 'How are you?' 'Your shirt is weird' 'Goodbye'. Easy stuff. On the slowest days, he just slept at his register until it was lunch and then slept more until it was the end of his shift. He slacked off, left early, came in late, and basically became a nuisance. Obviously, they wouldn't keep him around, right? He'd be out in two weeks and Papyrus couldn't be disappointed because he'd done his best and it definitely wasn't his fault that he'd gotten fired.

Except it was a year down the line and he'd somehow become a Very Important Person at work. Playing on the edge just wasn't working. Eh. Whatever. He was probably trying too hard anyway. They'd fire him instead for something stupid like short-circuiting the company microwave while cooking bad Ramen. Surely.

"'sup." Sans greeted the manager as he shuffled into the building, almost an hour late. Yep. Honestly, he'd probably be fired any day now.

"Sans! Thank God!" The manager looked close to tears, staring at Sans like he was heaven-sent. Ehh... maybe he'd be getting fired tomorrow then.

Notes:

I LOVE SANS UNDERTALE AND SANS DELTARUNE, I FORGIVE HIM. Brain rot is real and it's caused by Toby Fox himself. Retail job is annoying and I am PROJECTING by putting SANS in my place. Cashier </3

Also this does have a couple of headcanons, I can't help myself
