How Free Is ‘Free Panda Thursday’?

On his wall, Facebook Friend Joe Butler writes re: a “Free Panda (Express) Thursday”: “And by free, we’ve learned that this means ‘at participating restaurants,’ and sometimes you have to buy other stuff, and try to get there prior to noon before the overworked lunch staff gets all surly.” Any Spokane folks wanting to get in on this, let me know.” I thought I’d be more enthused about Panda Express when the one opened at 4th & Appleway. But I’ve only eaten there 2 or 3 times. Too expensive for small portions. I prefer Safeway deli on Neider, if I want fast food Chinese.

Question: Are you a Panda Express fan?
