    In my mind, I can't checkout, because it's a noun or an adjective. I always do verbs, so I check out.

    Exactly. I also try only to do verbs, although occasionally I verb nouns.

    Regardless, the counter you check out at is the checkout counter, while the counter you check in at is the check-in counter. So OP does still have a point.

    You can check-out any time you like, but you can never leave

    But: Log in... Login... 🤔

    (pretty sure "Login" is a word... right?)

    Checkout is a noun. It's the registers at the end of the grocery store.

    Checkin is also a noun. It means the front desk of a hotel.

    Once you start verbing either of those, you need to split the words up. I don't know why, I don't make the rules.

    Checkout is a noun. You can only check out.
