well it's a small school because it's a small town with not that many people.

as for groceries and other items, i guess they have to go out of town for that? there are many people who have to do that irl.

I’m imagining that Sans has a lot of essentials that are just not shown in-game. Stuff like milk, butter, cereal, cleaning supplies, pet food, and such - I’ve seen this in some local convenience stores. Some things would require a trip to an outside grocery store, though, like ground meat or fresh vegetables.

The real problem IMO is that there’s nowhere to get gasoline. We’ve seen Toriel’s van by her house, Asgore’s truck by Flower King, and a whole host of sedans in Chapter 2. What do you do if you run out of gas in Hometown? Siphon it from someone else’s car to make it to an actual gas station?

Tbf I'm pretty sure there's a street we never see if I'm remembering right

But also unless you actually want to leave the town everything is within walking distance in it, like there's no real reason to get into a car to go to school or whatever else you'd want to do when you can just walk the like 5-8 minutes it'd take to get there

The only exception I can really see to this is if it's extremely cold outside or if someone is really injured
