In this case, where it is apparently straight dialogue, no comma is needed as well as the question mark.
"Where is the manager?" asked the angry customer.
If it is a reported/quoted question, a comma would go outside as well as the question mark inside the marks.
I heard the angry customer shout "Where is the manager?", and then
"Where is the manager?" asked the angry customer.
