The postal employee is not my legally designated signer nor do they reside at my residence. That could open a very large can of worms.

From USPS:

What will I receive with Signature Confirmation™ Service?
You will be provided the following information:
  • Signature and name of the recipient
  • Date, time and location of the delivery
  • Signature Confirmation™ requires that the recipient (or a responsible person at the residence) be present to sign for the item.
