The present chapter deals initially with M/ (M+U)/1)2. By allowing one of the two servers to have a continuous uniform service time distribution, we make our model much realistic. We consider various strategies for a smart customer. Finally an interesting generalization of it in the form M/((H2+U) /2)2has been presented, where (H2+U) is a mixture of two distributions, one hyper-gamma and second uniform continuous so that the customer gets faster and better service.
