In the universe where that job is still so popular that they don't have a constantly changing roster as they are constantly overworked...no, not even then. That person won't know ages, occupations, financial status, nothing.

If they really do it for a long time they might remember your face and where you live, but they have thousands of faces and places every day. Not like they are going with a list on which to add stuff like "Mmmh, the packet was heavy, must have been a Weight Plate for the gym"

The USPS has Informed Delivery.

Do you supposed that added that service after a three-letter-organization insisted on all mail being photographed?

Delivered mail for 42 years. For an observant carrier, this isn't far from the truth. I saw divorces coming months in advance. I watched kids grow up and go to college. When you are on the same route for 20 years, you get to know stuff.

google/apple/amazon/facebook (depending on your preferred platform) has a hundred times more info on you than your mail carrier.
