Best Answer

Restaraunts used to have people close to their entryway door who would take your coat when you entered and return it to you when you left. This was called checking your coat. Checking your ego at the door is a request to not bring your ego into some discussion; to remain objective rather than emotional, because you have left your ego at the door instead of bringing it into the conversation.
