They might not be ALLOWED - but that doesn't mean they CAN'T. May, shall, must, may not, cannot, must not, will, will not - these all have very specific meanings.

I am not allowed to run a red light. But there's nothing actually stopping me from doing so, if I really wanted to. I CAN run a red light. I am not allowed to, but I most definitely can.

Owners and managers aren't supposed to take the tip money, and kitchen staff and any other staff that works for minimum wage or better, shouldn't be getting a portion of tips from wait staff who earns less than minimum wage without those tips.
