Congratulations to Costco for labelling the Bible as fiction... and then not taking any guff from complainers. Talking snakes only exist in cartoons. Let the War on Christians boycotts begin. Never mind that they are one of the few retailers paying a living wage and are closed this Thanksgiving.
“People are pretty shocked and upset,” he told me. “We are supposed to be living in an era of tolerance, but what Costco did doesn’t seem too tolerant.” 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.
“Nothing to report,” she said curtly.

Damn right it was human error at the warehouse! It was clearly mislabelled. It should have been in the "Horror" section.
Nope, the Koran is the one that should be in the horror section. If only the Koran was fiction. Sadly it's not. It's non-fiction and it's going on right now.
