Abstract
We consider threshold equilibrium strategies in a two-server memoryless queueing system where customers inspect one queue before deciding which queue to join. We show that such an equilibrium may not exist. A numerical study indicates that if threshold equilibria exist, the effective arrival rate to the unobserved queue is higher when the regime there is last-come first-served rather than first-come first-served.
