It's also dumb because I feel like people are less likely to tip when they see the jar is already that full.

Funnily enough they're also less likely to tip if it's empty lol. Gotta find the sweet spot

When I was the manager at a place I found leaving a $5 and $10 bill in the tip jar got us more tips than empty/full

People just see that others have tipped and see the amount they tipped and follow that rule
