Wow, you should meet my student... I started tutoring for a local adult literacy program last year. The guy they paired me with has a heavy South Philly accent, and he leaves out a lot of consonants. So first becomes firs', last becomes las', etc. It took some time to get used to. I mean, use to.

eta: I just looked it up, and both pronunciations are in there, but sans-t is the first (preferred) version. I think it has to do with where you're from.

So... pronouncing the "t" is an affectation...
But using "sans" is just plain folks?
