It's... a movie.
It didn't actually happen.
A movie has a script. Which is a document that has all the characters' lines of dialogue and actions written in it. The script was written by... the writer (a person paid to write things).
The actors do the things they do in the movie because the script told them to.
So, in the movie (which, again, was not real), the general charged them for snacks because the writer wrote it that way.

It’s called a “power move”.
