Sans is NOT Lazy, He's Just Tired
So a common description for Sans is that he's lazy and always sleeps on the job, never cleans his room, always wears the exact same thing every day. Some people say he's simply lazy, others say he's depressed.
Me? I just think he's ridiculously overworked.
So think about Sans' appearances in Undertale. Every place he shows up. The resort, all the sentry stations, the hot dog stands, what's something that all these things have in common?
He's a sentry, meaning he's at least tangentially working under the Royal Guard and hence Undyne. He teleports between sentry stations but is primarily based in Snowdin where he lives. But you can find him at sentry stations in Waterfall and Hotland.
He also has TWO, count em TWO hot dog stands, that he runs, one in each of those locations. And you can actually buy hot dogs from him.
Sans is also an entertainer at MTT Resort, and seems to be a regular performer. Pretty sure all performers at grand resorts get paid for gigs.
And in the genocide run, during his battle, Sans mentions "WE discovered an anomaly in the time-space continuum" and a lot of other sciencey things. And Alphys trusts Sans enough that she at least implied that he knew of the Amalgamates prior to you finding them.
Add that with all the science stuff Sans has in his shed, it's a popular theory that he at least part time works at the Lab with Alphys, maybe as an assistant.
And finally, we have Sans in the castle in New Home acting as the Royal Judge, meaning he works directly under ASGORE.
So that's FIVE different jobs, six if you count the two different hot dog stands as separate.
No wonder Sans is always napping, why he never cleans his room, he's just flat out too tired to do so because he works nearly half a dozen jobs.
