There is a barber sleeping in his shop. When a customer comes, he checks if the barber is sleeping and wakes him up. If there are no other customers in the waiting room, the barber cuts his hair. Else the customer takes a set in the waiting room. But if there are no seats, he leaves. Once a barber finishes cutting hair, he checks if there are any customers in the waiting room. If not, he goes back to sleep again. The idea is the barber works only when a customer arrives, and sleeps otherwise.
