I have seen MANY folks in stories that made very very high tips, and some state outright to share with the entirety. Or even write it on the receipt.
In this case, the money was given directly to the 2 people that served them.
The guy that gave the tip was contacted and he asked for all of the money to be returned. Then he gave it directly to the waitress.
Many places uses a jar for overall tips and then share it with the waitresses, cooks, cleaners... and sometimes management will sneak into it when they shouldn't be. Other places just simply split at the end of the evening. But the majority, I believe, the servers keep their own tips daily. And it's how it should be if you ask me. Some work so much harder than others. Some are much more attentive and helpful. Others are simply lazy.
If it were me and I got such a hefty tip, and they told me it was just for me at their table - I would still give a small percentage to the cooks and cleaners, as they are often forgotten. But this isn't necessary, IMO.

Arkansas waitress fired after customers leave generous $4K tip
An Arkansas waitress received a whopping $4,400 tip, only to be fired after her manager made her spilt it with other staffers, according to reports.
The generous gratuity came on Dec. 6, when waitress Ryan Brandt and another server worked a party of more than 40 at Oven and Tap in Bentonville, Fox 59 reported.
Each diner had chipped in $100 in tip money — believing the total would go to both servers.
“We knew servers really hit hard through COVID, and it was something that we had come up with to help give back,” Grant Wise, who dined at the eatery following a conference in town, told CBS 5.
But the restaurant’s manager instructed Brandt to pool the tip with her co-workers who didn’t serve the large party, in an arrangement she told Fox 59 was unprecedented in her more than three years working there.
“I was told that I was going to be giving my cash over to my shift manager, and I would be taking home 20 percent,” Brandt told the network.
When Wise, who owns a real estate company called Witly, found out, he demanded the restaurant return the tip money — then turned over $2,200 directly to Brandt.
Brandt was canned the next day.
“They fired me from Oven and Tap over the phone and I’ve been there for 3 1/2 years and that was really heartbreaking,” Brandt told CBS 5. “Especially because I didn’t think I did anything wrong.”
In a statement, Oven and Tap said Brandt was fired for reasons unrelated to the tipping incident and that it “fully honored” the generous tippers’ requests to reward the pair of servers at their party.
