That tip also goes to billing to redistribute however they want, and not to that employee automatically. Starbucks I've heard 2nd hand just do a tip pool which does make it back to the employees. Other chains... idk. I've heard that some employees don't ever see those tips.

If the point-of-sale device says it's a tip and they don't distribute it only to the workers, that's super-illegal!

Yeah, it's a common problem. Even though it's illegal, the places that take employee's tips from them are banking on their employees being too poor to afford a lawyer, and they're usually right.
