CVS open, but restricted by Thanksgiving blue laws?

On my way out of town on Tuesday, I walked by the Davis Square CVS. It had a paper sign saying that it would be open on Thanksgiving, but that because of Blue Laws, they are allowed to sell only certain products on that day.

I didn't take notes or a photo, so I don't remember the whole list, but it included prescription and over-the-counter medicines, food, beverages, and "batteries for emergency use only".

Has anyone else seen these signs? If you took a photo, can you post it here?

I don't know how they can actually enforce these restrictions, given the prevalence of self-service checkout machines.

Do any other chain stores have such restrictions posted? I'm curious about 7-Eleven, Tedeschi's, Walgreen's, and Rite Aid.
