Many of the opponents of the law claimed that businesses will simply exercise their right to refuse service to those people carrying firearms. Turns out that they were wrong. Businesses are in business to make money. That means serving the public, and the more customers, the better the business likes it.
Sure, the law prohibits the carrying of firearms in schools, courthouses, and a few places like that. But other than the handful of exceptions provided for in the law, I don't know of any business that refuses service to people legally carrying a concealed weapon where the law does not prohibit the carrying.
Many people carry all the time everywhere they go and no one else even knows about it. It would be the same way with this Vaccine Passport thing. Those who think that their favorite restaurant or little hideaway is going to put up signs and prohibit customers who don't have a vaccine card are simply dreaming. The businesses are not going to turn away customers regardless what you think of it. However, you're still free to leave if you want. You just won't have the right to tell the business whom they can serve and whom they can't.

Costco is the first that comes to mind. They prohibit concealed or open carry...
Now, I agree, if they can't see it, there's not much they'll do, but if you're printing, they can and will ask you to leave.
Good thing is, the only penalty is a possible charge of trespassing...
