I'm sure 100 years ago when people were forced to get driver's licenses they had the same reactions!
How would you know whether retail establishments wouldn't require these? Do they not already require masking? Why would you think this only a "travel" thing?

This is what NY's Excelsior Pass is meant to do:

The Excelsior Pass app, which launched Friday, shares vaccination and negative test results with art and entertainment venues and businesses (including major stadiums and arenas, wedding receptions and catered events above the social gathering limit) by using a QR code that these places scan.
