Loose Women’s Janet Street-Porter clashes with Coleen Nolan in furious row over tipping

Janet Street-Porter and Coleen Nolan disagreed over whether its necessary to tip online retailers on Friday’s Loose Women

Janet Street-Porter clashed with Coleen Nolan on Tuesday’s Loose Women as the pair revealed whether they would tip online retailers such as clothing shops and food delivery services.

Janet fumed ” pay people a proper wage” when host Ruth Langsford explained some retailers used the ‘tip pot’ as a fund to buy their employees lunches and pay for activities.

Explaining she was against the idea, Janet said: “I will happily tip in a restaurant no problem whatsoever. I tip whenever I think a tip is appropriate I always tip a taxi or a driver.”

Interjecting, Ruth said: “When you’ve had the service,” and Janet agreed.

“But I just can’t understand what the service is if you’re putting a frock in a bag and sticking a stamp on it,” she fumed before Coleen disagreed.

Coleen pointed out that some online retailers may be small businesses that would benefit greatly from being tipped for their service.

“You don’t know, there are a lot of companies running from home, small retailers, so they do have a lot of overheads at home because they are doing all the packing themselves and putting stamps on,” she said.

Hitting back, Janet quipped: “Well charge more for the clothes,” as Coleen replied: “No because I won’t go back to them I’m only there because it’s cheap.”

Loose Women viewers sided with Janet in the debate and took to Twitter to question the need for online tipping.

One tweeted: “#LooseWomen pay them a decent wage and they wouldn’t need to ask for tips,” and another wrote: “As if anyone would tip a online clothing store #LooseWomen.”

A third fumed: “Online tip… who gets it? The business owner or the low paid person doing the picking and packing. Pay them properly, charge us appropriate price for item. DONE! #LooseWomen.”

“I’m happy to tip someone who brings me food but tipping a shop online? #LooseWomen,” another added.

Tuesday’s Loose Women saw Dame Kelly Holmes on the panel alongside Ruth, Janet and Coleen with the presenters welcoming newsreader Natasha Kaplinsky.
