The chain said workers must have a medical note to wear a mask in five states where it operates.
"No masks shall be worn in the store or support facility unless an associate has a valid medical note exempting him or her from this requirement," the memo said.
Employees must provide a valid medical note to a store manager, divisional manager, manager, or human resources, the memo said.
"Without disclosing the medical diagnosis or confidential medical information, the medical note should clearly state the reason for the exemption and include the estimated duration, if applicable," the memo said.
Employees who require a mask for medical reasons must wear a company-provided N-95 mask, according to the memo.
