"Check your attitude at the door"
What does "Check your attitude at the door" mean? I've heard it lots of times, but never understood it!

As far as I know its a take off of coat-checks, where you leave your coat/hats/etc as you walk into a resaurant or club. So you would 'Check your coat at the door' so you wouldnt have to walk around and carry coats and whatnot while eating/partying. A lot of high-end restaurants and clubs have seperate rooms in which to keep customers personal belongings.
And this is just another version of that. Really more a comment used to tell someone they have an attitude and your offended, and they need to drop it.

I can remember it first being used when celebrities gathered to record the "We are the World" song for
USA for Africa.
Basically what it means is you may be a big deal (as celebrities sometimes believe themselves to be) but,
when you come in here you are no better than anybody else in the room. No special favors, no special treatment. :)
