Laravel 4 Model Methods access

am I doing something wrong to be able to access Methods stored in a model in a view. For Example. My User model has a method that looks like

    public function isCustomer(){
        if (isset($this->customer_id)) 
        return true;
        else return false;
    }

When I try to access this in the view I end up with Call to a member function getResults() on a non-object.

View code is something like

@if($user->isCustomer)
Something
@endif

Is the model ONLY for database relationships between models or can I store my own class functions here as well?

The function i listed is one of the basic ones. I have quite a few more complicated functions that I would like to run from my User class but am not sure how, as i end up with the same error each time. Should they be stored in the controller?

You can store class functions there. By first glance it looks like your missing () on isCustomer. If it were me I would store that in the controller, like: 

$customer = $user->isCustomer();

then pass that to the view.
