Tip theft?

So I work at Five Guys in NYC and last week one of my coworkers, lets call them Z, was in charge of the register. Z accidentally gave out the wrong change to a customer, shorting the register by $40. In response the general manager decided that the $40 would be recovered by taking away all of the employees tips we receive in cash. Normally i wouldn’t care because tip(once split) is about 1-3 dollars per employee but for some reason this aggravates me. All the crew members make 15/hr before nyc tax and taking out tips seems so low. Also as a company that boasts about not spending a dime on marketing and has millions in profits, like c’mon. Also is this illegal?
