Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis persepsi karyawan dan pelanggan terhadap pelayanan frontliner di Ritel X sebagai salah satu jaringan ritel modern terbesar di Indonesia. Fokus utama penelitian adalah memahami bagaimana karyawan memaknai konsep pelayanan berdasarkan standar perusahaan dan bagaimana pelanggan menilai pengalaman layanan yang mereka terima. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif deskriptif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara mendalam dan observasi di beberapa gerai Ritel X di Surabaya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar karyawan memiliki persepsi positif terhadap pentingnya pelayanan prima dan berupaya menerapkan standar 3S (Senyum, Sapa, Salam), namun masih terdapat kesenjangan antara pelaksanaan standar prosedural dengan pengalaman emosional yang diharapkan pelanggan. Pelanggan menilai bahwa kualitas pelayanan belum konsisten antar shift dan antar cabang, serta masih terdapat kekurangan pada aspek empati, komunikasi interpersonal, dan kecepatan respon. Penelitian ini mengungkap lima temuan penting: kesenjangan persepsi antara karyawan dan pelanggan, peran manajemen dalam membentuk budaya pelayanan, kelelahan emosional frontliner, pengaruh lingkungan fisik terhadap persepsi pelanggan, dan rendahnya kompetensi digital dalam pelayanan. Temuan ini menegaskan perlunya pelatihan berkelanjutan, evaluasi sistemik, dan penguatan budaya kerja berbasis empati agar kualitas pelayanan Ritel Modern semakin sesuai dengan harapan pelanggan.
