Oh, under present setup, servers often have to share a portion of
the tip with others, like food runners.

 
  it depends upon the laws of the state and also the place.
some do share all tips evenly so your preference towards a
certain server can be spread around.  it's not at all what
i think makes sense.

restaurants.  i am glad i don't do it.  the turnover is a
beast and then the changing laws and regulations can also
make it a PITA.

Yup.  Had friends who did bartending and they had to split with the
cook.  Fortunately it was just food tips they shared and 60% to cook,
40% to bartender who also delivered and bussed tables.  At least, that
was the place a couple of friends worked at.
