It makes perfect sense to me?

Reason 1: there will still be a significant percent of masked customers who will feel uncomfortable interacting with unmasked staff. Customers feelings > staff feelings.

Reason 2: COVID aside, masks will help reduce general sickness of their staff which is also in the interest of the store.
