If there is room on the shelves, maybe they need to buy more seforim? If there is extra room in the shul, maybe it means there aren’t enough people coming to shul. And why should anyone be standing in the aisles to begin with — aren’t there enough chairs? If the doors slam, they need oiling or perhaps door stopper. Why would you ever lock the door of a shul? Some people are early, some are late, some people need to go to the bathroom more frequently than others (males after a certain age, pregnant women, etc.) – and Jewish custom is to bring children to shul and then aren’t always the most orderly of critters. If you can find ten people who want to be so prompt, start a minyan. If the shliach tzibbur is rushing you, switch to another shul that davens more slowly (or as they would say, with more kavannah).
