Mei works as a delivery driver. At each secure building, she can keep a six-digit entry code in mind while she walks from the intercom to the door. If she is delayed for about 30 seconds and does not repeat the code, she has to ask for it again. In contrast, she can still recall the layout of a delivery route that she last used ten years ago.
Explain how the contrast in Mei's performance provides support for the Multi-store Model.
