Trivia:

Each individual vignette was shot as its own separate short film, later edited together as if everyone was actually in the restaurant at the same time. Tanesa and Shelly's sequence was shot last, at 10:30 in the morning. To engender the illusion that it was still dinner time, an elaborate tent was created around the couple to guard from the blast of light cascading through the entire side of that restaurant.
