Actress Alicia Silverstone has a bone to pick with Starbucks.

The “Clueless” star went on a tirade against the coffeehouse chain in a series of tweets Tuesday after a worker used a disposable cup to pour her drink.

Silverstone, who is a longtime vegan and environmental activist, said she brought her reusable mug to an undisclosed Starbucks store to “reduce waste.” But she was horrified when she noticed that the staff had used a disposable cup to pour the drink into her personal mug.

Then I looked around to see so many people sitting @ the cafe all w disposables! Ugh.”

But that wasn’t her only issue with Starbucks. In another tweet, Silverstone said she was “frustrated” over the coffee company’s surcharge for nondairy milk.
