@lakewhut And you know this from your vast experience davening in many MO shuls across the country?
@coffee-addict Everything depends on the shul. Some MO shuls are very serious, some the oilom barely davens. Some Yeshivish shuls are dead quiet, some you can’t hear the Chazzan. Some Chassidishe shuls are full with the kol teffilah, some don’t even have a minyan of people who aren’t busy with coffee or kugel.
