I’m checkin this out right now
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?)
or if Canadian, logging.

You can check-out anytime you’d like, but you can never leave.
Checkout is a noun. You can only check out.
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.
