Being a mom without a paying job doesn't mean that they have no assets or ability to pay. In addition there was no mention of her credit rating being an issue. It was all because she didn't have a “job”. The other details matter greatly in terms of really being able to pay or not.

I suppose they don't sell phones to people who are retired?

It is just plain dumb to entirely base one’s ability to pay on whether they alone have a job or not.

Myabe the “retired” had decent credit or some documentation concerning ability to pay?

I figured the company had their reasons for not selling her the phone/contract. Additionally, it’s just one company and they can choose to do business however they wish. She could buy from another company, unless there’s a reason she couldn’t get a phone/contract and no business would take a chance on her.

It seems to me this is about women, wives, stay at home moms and the author or subject is trying to make an issue of this for his or her own benefit. Or the subject is whining about something and we’re all supposed to feel sorry for her.Just my take on it. No offense intended.
