Costco apologizes for “bible-under-fiction” flap
Source: San Francisco Chronicle
"A Costco store in Southern California drew some unwanted attention
this week after labeling some of its Bibles as fiction. The Los
Angeles Times reports Wednesday that Discovery Church pastor Caleb
Kaltenbach recently came across the Bibles with 'Fiction' written on
the price tag while shopping for a gift at a Costco store in Simi
Valley. He took a photo and posted it on social media with the
comment: 'Costco has Bibles for sale under the genre of FICTION
Hmmmm ...' Costco has since apologized, saying in a statement a
distributor mislabeled a small percentage of Bibles before they were
sent to the store." [editor's note: If they'd labeled it SCIENCE
fiction, they could have pissed off everyone else too - TLK]
