Combination of "checking someone out" and "the checkout" (as in the check out line), describing the slightly invasive act of checking out the items in the shopping cart of the person behind you in line at the checkout.
Bro 1: Did you see that? She was checking me out.
Bro 2: No, Bro, she was checking out the things you're buying. The checkout check out ain't the same thing.

Means you could be helping like 38 people at once but only ever actually help about 2 at a time. Like only using a small percent of your potential.
" Dude this place (restaurant) is like 'Wal-Mart checkout'. A bunch of staff but no one is helping us".

Being hit up for a charity donation at a store checkout register. Stores know that everyone in line behind you will think that you're a cheap ass if you don't give. Ain't peer pressure great?
John: Wanna go out to a bar tonight?
Rick: Dude, I can't. I just lost my last 5 bucks in a Checkout Charity Ambush at the grocery store!

"If you aren't in a hurry to leave the store, there will be little or no delay in getting a clerk to ring you up. But if you're pressed for time --- or even more so, if you're car-pooling with someone who is on a tight schedule --- THAT'S when there will be hold-ups galore... a long line in front of you, a customer with one or more heaped-full shopping-carts, one or more price-discrepancies that hafta be tediously resolved (i.e., the puzzled clerk is obliged to walk back with you to the shelf to look at the price-labels, a supervisor or the store-manager has to be called over), a balky card-scanner, etc."
Whenever someone who's giving me a ride is kind enough to let me stop at a store to grab a few items, I always try to make very sure that I have everything all "set and prepared" before I head to the register, so that I personally seldom create a problem (i.e., cause any delays myself with issues like not having the proper payment ready or being unsure of a price or quantity) with Murphy's Law of Checkout-Lines. That way, even if my driver has to wait linger than expected for me to hastily scamper back outside with my loaded shopping-bags, he won't be able to direct his impatient frustration at me --- "Sorry for the delay; I did indeed get everything tossed in my cart very quickly, but there was a long line in front of me, and they were short-staffed today, so they only had once register open."

How to us the Kansas city Hotelroom checkout. Take a girl to a hotel make sure she is the one to check in. Make sure they have chairs with arms and legs on them. Tie her to the chair with rope and velcro tiedowns or hand cuffs. You will need a vibrator. Stay a while and us the vibrator. Then with out warning stick it inside her, use her socks, panties or what ever you can find to make sure it stays inside. Call for room servise and ask for clean sheets. Then go to the door wait till she asks you where are you going then just close the door and leave. Then wait outside in the parkinglot to see how she likes the room servise.

Hym "Self-Checkout Theft... I was high both times... And I have ADD... And I rang-up all of my items... And got distracted by a thought (probably about THIS or something peripherally associated to THIS)... And then I just grabbed them and walked away... And BOTH TIMES... I got to the door and realized that I... Just haven't been paying attention to what my body has been doing for the last 60 seconds and was like 'Oh, shit, wait.. Did I pay for any of this? Oh no! Did anybody see that, shit!' And I know for a fact... That if anybody DID see me... They would think that I was going to steal the shit but I chicken out at the last minute but THAT ISN'T WHAT HAPPENED, I SWEAR! If I wanted to steal from a Walmart I would do it with confidence and get away with it BECAUSE I'M A GENIUS!!! But no... I just forgot... I ate some edibles before going to the store... And, you know... Oops."
