USPS mail carriers have giant bags filled with mail. How do they just reach into their bag and know which mail they’re grabbing? For how much they deliver I feel like they don’t make a lot of mistakes. And then they grab more mail?? It hurts my brain

Before the carrier sets out on their route, the mail is sorted in the order they’ll be going. So, when a carrier grabs mail from their bag or from a tray, they just need to make sure to grab the right number of pieces off the top of the stack or the front of the tray.
They may also have mass mailings where each piece isn’t individually addressed and every mail recipient gets a copy. People sending out mailings know in advance how many recipients are on each route and provide that number of mailpieces. Those don’t need to be included in the sorted mail.
