You don't know that. The policy can vary and may require that all tips be shared. I worked as a bartender when I was younger and the policy was that all tips were shared. Pocketing a tip would have had unpleasant consequences.

The busboy and hostess will get some of that waitress's earned money. And she has no say-so in the matter. UNLESS it's a cash tip, because she can pocket it.
