This article charts changing power relations within customer services, focusing on frontline service sector managers (FLSSMs): what they do and how they do it. Although increasingly ghostlike in the sociology of customer service work, the FLSSM is a mediator of the often divergent interests of employees, senior management, and customers. Drawing on Kanter’s notion of power failure in management circuits, the article depicts a series of “triangle dramas” drawn from a variety of frontline settings that show how managers can be denied access to “lines of power.” The analysis questions the expectation that FLSSMs have sufficient power to resolve customer dissatisfactions or address structural failings.
