Abstract
It is proved that the variance of the delay in a queueing system as well as the expectation of any convex increasing function of the delay attain their minima when customers leave the system according to a FIFO departure discipline. The relationship to a corresponding property of the FCFS service discipline with respect to the waiting time in the queue before service, is examined and some interesting differences are pointed out.
