What do the Bible, "The Hunger Games" and "Fifty Shades of Grey" have in common? All three are works of fiction, according to the booksellers at Costco.
Pastor Caleb Kaltenbach made that shocking discovery last Friday as he was shopping for a present for his wife at a Costco in Simi Valley, Calif. “All the Bibles were labeled as fiction,” the pastor told me. “It seemed bizarre to me.” Kaltenbach is the lead pastor at Discovery Church, a non-denominational Christian congregation in southern California.
He thought there must be some sort of mistake so he scoured the shelf for other Bibles. Every copy was plastered with a sticker that read, “$14.99 Fiction.” The pastor knew something must be amiss so he set off in search of a Costco employee hoping for an answer.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t find anyone willing to answer his question (which is not all that surprising if you’ve shopped at Costco).
I doubt they would label the Koran as fiction, Pastor Kaltenbach said. Heaven help us if they did.
So does the warehouse store that sells laundry detergent by the gallon have a problem with the Word of God? I called Costco headquarters in Issaquah, Wash. hoping to get answers. The nice lady who answered the phone told me she was aware of the issue and chalked it up to a “human error at a warehouse.” “It’s all fixed,” she said. But actually, it’s not fixed – because there’s a boatload of Bibles in the Simi Valley store still marked as fiction. At that point, the nice lady on the phone became not-so-nice and promptly informed me that Costco doesn’t talk to the press.

Find a bunch of ‘pornagrahy’ stickers and start plastering the Koran with them. Let’s see what happens
Costco is fiction.
Right now I’m plastering our town buses with my own made Israeli flags - they’re running these Free Palestinian ads. I just back up to one and plant a flag sticker on them.

NOT TRUE
See if you can find a price on Dineesh DeSousa's book.
Costco took it off its tables because it was a conservative book and the president is a flaming liberal. Finally when forced they returned it (2 months later) they won't put a price on it. Costco knows from years of experience that items with no price don't sell. Draw your own conclusions about costo
NO.
Not to all books. Dinesh deSousa's book was banned from Costco. When people threatened to quit their membership they backed down. They put the book back on the shelves but they refuse to put a price on it. Reason: items with no price don't sell. Their CEO is a liberal.
Their CEO is a terrorist.
