    Consider the single server queue with an infinite buffer and a FIFO discipline, either of type M/M/1 or Geom/Geom/1. Denote by A\mathcal{A} the arrival process and by ss the services. Assume the stability condition to be satisfied. Denote by D\mathcal{D} the departure process in equilibrium and by rr the time spent by the customers at the very back of the queue. We prove that (D,r)(\mathcal{D},r) has the same law as (A,s)(\mathcal{A},s) which is an extension of the classical Burke Theorem. In fact, rr can be viewed as the departures from a dual storage model. This duality between the two models also appears when studying the transient behavior of a tandem by means of the RSK algorithm: the first and last row of the resulting semi-standard Young tableau are respectively the last instant of departure in the queue and the total number of departures in the store
