I find a sad irony in this. After all the work that went into getting the law to recognize our right to celebrate all our holidays and sabbaths without penalty, one would think that we’d automatically show sensitivity to the few holidays the goyim observe.
Offering to give the drivers a free pumkpin pie is just a slap in the face that underscores the insensitivity being shown. Imagine if your boss demands you come in on Rosh Hashana, and in response to your protest offers to give you a jar of honey for coming in. This is no different in their eyes.
