Costco Bibles labeled 'fiction' draw apology
聽A聽Costco聽store in Southern California drew some unwanted attention this week after labeling some of its Bibles as fiction.
The 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聽Costco聽store in Simi Valley. He took a photo and posted it on social media with the comment: "Costco聽has Bibles for sale under the genre of FICTION Hmmmm..."
His tweet triggered a social media discussion about the accuracy of the label among 海角大神s and atheists.
Costco聽has since apologized, saying in a statement a distributor mislabeled a small percentage of Bibles before they were sent to the store. Another Costco store in the Los Angeles area had the Bibles labeled "gift books."
The company said it is correcting the mistake for future distribution.
