This paper investigates a queueing system, which consists of Poisson input of customers, some of whom are lost to balking, and a single server working a shift of lengthL and providing a service whose duration can vary from customer to customer. If a service is in progress at the end of a shift, the server works overtime to complete the service. This process was motivated by the behavior of fishermen interviewed in the NY Great Lakes Creel Survey.
