Really?  Let me help.  

1.  Start by pretending you are in the real world.  
2.  When you order, tell the server to give you your own check.
3.  When it arrives, you reach into your wallet and pull out your credit card or some of the $200 per day you get for room and board* during the session.
4.  You add a tip (or leave cash) and sign the credit card receipt.

Voilà.  That's how it works.

p.s. Follow the money!!

*Legislators pad their salaries with thousands of dollars in excess of lodging and meal costs (especially if the latter are being paid by lobbyists).
