Morton's Siesta Market — Local services in Siesta Key

Extremely rude employee/security at the front guarding the parking lot. We stopped at the market because we needed a few things and one person in our group needed to go in Beach Bazaar to exchange an item. To save time, they were going to do the exchange while we shopped in the market. The very rude old man out front yelled at us and told us we had to move, asked if we could read the signs that said parking for Market customers only. I said yes obviously we can read and we ARE here to shop at the market but because one person from our group was also going to a different store he told us we had to leave. The parking lot also had only two other cars in it at the time, it was nearly empty. Due to his extreme rude attitude toward us we left and took our business elsewhere. I’ll drive way out of the way for groceries before I deal with such a bad attitude from an employee. Horrible treatment toward customers, he either needs fired or a lesson on how to treat people. We had kids with us and they were scared because of how he approached us and yelled in the parking lot. If you go on their facebook page you’ll see that the security/parking lot guard has treated other customers in this same manner and there are photos showing how he treats people (I’ll attach a screenshot to this review). Considering it’s tourists that probably keep the business open, it’s really sad that customers are being treated this way. Especially in front...

Extremely rude owner or employee.

My husband and I have been coming here for over 10 years and always do our shopping here. We have never had a problem until today. We parked like we usually do, my 2 year old son and I went into the store to grab a few things we were running out of while my husband and my niece went into a little gift shop across the street. We met back up at the car and my niece realized she left her stuffed animal dolphin back in the little shop, so we put the groceries in the car and started to walk over there together to see if we could recover it.

An extremely rude man wearing boots and a big belt told us we couldn’t nt leave our car there while we went back to try and find my nieces toy. We explained too him it would take not even two minutes and I had the receipt to show him we were just in his store.

He told my husband “that’s not my problem.” And had our family split up and have 1 person stand by the car while the rest of us could go look...leaving my son screaming for his dad and my niece crying.

We have spent $1,000’s over the years here, and will sadly never return.

I am big on customer service, and kindness and have never minded the high prices here. I’m sad to see such rude people working here, especially in a time where grace, kindness and a smile can go a long way during...

Went to this local market to purchase Ice and towels for the beach. Also had a bathroom emergency that I was hoping to relieve at this store whilst shopping. Got there and spoke to a nice woman who then told me there was no bathroom and told me where to go. I told her I'll be right back. As I was walking to the bathroom across the street I got stopped by this old guy who was sitting outside of the store that told me that I'd get a ticket if I left. I then exclaimed that I had a bathroom emergency and that I'd be back to buy what I needed. He unnecessarily still called someone over to give me a ticket. He could care less if I was a customer or not just wanted to ruin my day. Got back and exclaimed to the ticket officer that I had every intention on being a customer and would've already bought something had they had customer bathrooms. He also did not care and it wasn't until I threatened to call the cops on them if they gave me a ticket if I do in fact buy something at the store. I felt racially targeted and it was a disappointing and upsetting experience overall. I will say that the staff was nice except for whomever that guy was, seemed to be the owner or the liquor store attendant. Not ok the way I was treated. I will never be back...
