I usually check-in when (if) I remember while I am at the venue. Sometimes I remember when I get home and enter it then. I find it fun, not business necessary to check-in and see how many times I have been at one place over time. This also helps me remember if I want to go back to a specific restaurant or place. Awards or mayorships re not really important to me, but again they are fun. Hopefully in the future this fun will have a value to me, but until then I will check-in when or if I remember.

I usually check in some time during the visit. Not right when I walk in, then I am focused on getting seated, talking to my company, looking at the menu, ordering drinks, etc.
It also make sense to check in later, so you have been able to collect enough information to write a tip on FourSquare. If it is the first visit, how can you write a tip right when you walk in?
