A gift to one person becomes the property of that one person, imHo, and what they agree to do or chose to do with their gift is up to them. Forcing the "gifted" to share their gift is robbery. Forcing them to share their gift under threat of losing their job is extortion

A "Tip" is not a "gift", it is a voluntary payment for services and it is NOT rendered to a "person", but to a company that person works for. If a server in a "shared tip" environment chooses to keep a cash tip to herself/himself, they are thieves.
Simply to prove the lack of logic to your position: If you pay in cash for an item with a $50 bill and when you get home, you found you were only given change for a $20 bill ... who do you call and who do you hold responsible? If you hand cash to a person who is working at a business, that cash is the property of the business.
