I believe the marker restriction stems from an inhalation issue. The fat markers used to be used to get some kind of high. I think the formula has been modified since then.
As far as sales restrictions, I thought that Thanksgiving still had the ma. blue law that any store with over 3 employees working cannot be open. Several years ago an Asian chain foodmarket challenged this. I don't know the outcome, but maybe there is a loophole now about being open for emergency merchandise? I bet the Macgoun Sq. store, if it was open, had 3 or fewer employees.
