Wareham’s Minerva’s Pizza Owner Demonstrates Kindness After Customer’s Loss

On November 5, a touching story surfaced on Facebook capturing a random act of kindness in Wareham.

Megan Chartier vulnerably shared her heartfelt experience at Minerva’s Pizzeria and Slice House, and how one individual set a perfect example of how humanity and mankind should treat one another.

In her post, Chartier recounted a challenging day when she attended her brother's wake. Following the wake, she decided to treat herself to pizza and baklava at Minerva's late on a Tuesday night to escape the sadness her family was currently going through.

It was a decision that would lead to an unexpected display of compassion.

As Chartier placed her order, the cashier – identified as "Ike" – noticed a button she was wearing with her brother's picture. Concerned and empathetic, he inquired about it, prompting Chartier to share her emotional story.

In a remarkable act of kindness, Ike offered to cover the cost of her meal, but his generosity didn’t stop there. He sat down with her while she waited for her food, engaging in a heartfelt conversation about her brother. Before she left, he offered her a comforting hug, a gesture that spoke volumes in her time of grief.

Chartier's post serves as a powerful reminder that amidst the complaints often heard in community forums, there are also stories of genuine humanity and kindness. As she expressed in her post, “Here is a story of true humanity and kindness that should be recognized.”

At the end of the day, it just goes to show just how simple Minerva’s small act of kindness can provide comfort and connection when it’s needed most.
