“We don’t want to work if it gets busy. But we still want tips and you better tip more.”

I wouldn’t go that far. Worked in the service industry a long long time ago, and still have friends who do. There is a reason most places have a mandatory 18% or more tip on parties over a certain size, and smart ones also have policies about not allowing to split the bill if the party is over a certain size, and really smart ones, won’t seat a party until EVERYONE has arrived.

I don’t blame them. If I ran a restaurant I’d have the same policies. Large groups are painful to deal with. I absolutely have seen some outrageous thing from large groups in my day. I don’t blame some staff for having negative general opinions of such things.
