Sharing Tips

What’s the legality of restaurant managers taking the tips for the waiting staff and distributing amongst the rest of the staff? The waiting staff minimum wage is like $2/hr because they get tips, right? And if the kitchen staff (and the manager) falls under the normal minimum wage ($7.25/hr), then how is that legal to take the tips? If the tips are taken to be distributed amongst the rest of the staff, then shouldn’t that mean the $2/hr minimum wage doesn’t apply to the waiting staff anymore?
