  This work introduces the join the shortest queue policy in the retrial
setting. We consider a Markovian single server retrial system with two infinite
capacity orbits. An arriving job finding the server busy, it is forwarded to
the least loaded orbit. Otherwise, it is forwarded to an orbit randomly.
Orbiting jobs of either type retry to access the server independently. We
investigate the stability condition, the stationary tail decay rate, and obtain
the equilibrium distribution by using the compensation method.
