'Charge'
Is this correct English:
"I drank a beer at that posh pub, without first asking the CHARGE."
Note: I made some changes in the sentence that I originally heard in order to make its context clearer, but my doubt is whether it's correct or not to say 'charge' (as I had never heard that before).
