Models stepping on each other? - El Forum - 03-09-2010

I've got a question about models that are loaded in by the same controller.
I have an e-commerce application with multiple stores. Say Customer A is purchasing from one store that loads in a customer model. If Customer B is on the site and loads up another request that uses the customer model, will Customer B potentially use the same customer model that Customer A pulled up? The different stores have different implementations of some customer data, so I want to make sure Store X's customer data is not intermingled with Store Y's customer data.
How can I best ensure that Customer B doesn't use Customer A's customer model that is currently in memory in cases of high-traffic?
Should I use a factory pattern since CI has Singleton implementations of models and controllers (please shed some light and correct me if I am wrong?) I have not used a factory pattern, before by the way.
Thanks in advance.

What you're describing is not in any way possible.

That's not quite what singleton is. In any case, each model is instantiated as a separate object. In every request, everything is new. The models treat everything with customer a and customer b the same. If they need something treated differently, then you have to use sessions or something to store the extra data. What you're suggesting, like noctrum said, is not really a problem.
