21,223 PointsHello Hollowed King,
The issue you are having can be found within your second TODO. You do not need to instantiate a new customer support rep as you have a csr within the queue causing the while loop to break. The peek method does not remove it from the the queue. Therefore, you just assign the csr by using the poll queue method as it would remove it from the queue. Then call the assist method and add csr back into the queue.
csr = mSupportReps.poll();
csr.assist(customer);
mSupportReps.add(csr);
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Chris
