Did people not read the article? He's working there to help a friend during a labor shortage. And even if he worked there, why is that an issue? He could have a comfortable amount of money saved up already, but is bored and just wants to have an easy job.
That's a little fishy... I have a hard time believing that a so-called labour shortage is leading to a former NHLer to help out in such a way. If so, it doesn't make sense for the rest of the article to reference his financial troubles, or print comments on social media that assume that Brashear needs the job...
"
News of Brashear's stint at Tim Hortons quickly spread on social media after several media outlets published a story by French-language wire news service La Presse Canadienne, after being first reported by
Le Journal, with many readers blasting the story as "job shaming".
"Loved Brashear when he was on the caps... not everyone can play the game forever and there’s no shame in finding viable work after his careers over. This is a nonstory," reads a comment.
"Donald Brashear working at a Tim’s Horton is not “sad” or “pathetic.” He’s actually working to take care of himself and nothing is wrong with that. What it is, though, is a cautionary tale of when you make millions of dollars you need to be wise with it and protect your future," reads another."
...nope, this story is written very confusingly if Brashear was merely helping out a friend.
