checking out
Leaving a hotel
Checking out covers several distinct actions depending on context.
At a store, it means completing a purchase at the register or online cart.
At a hotel, it means formally leaving and settling your bill.
At a library, it means borrowing materials.
More casually, checking out can mean looking at something or someone with interest: Check out that sunset.
It also describes mentally disengaging or losing focus: I totally checked out during the meeting.
