I agree about the floor needing to back the dealers if we expect them to address the behavior.
But, I recall that I learned some of these very lessons as a newbie when inappropriate behavior at the table (sometimes, even my own) was addressed by players in hands. In fact, sometimes this was done loudly and harshly, and, even if it wasn't my own behavior, I quickly got the messaage...
Shouldn't players address this directly? After all, it's in everyone's interest, even the rude players'....
P. S. You should see me in a movie theater when other customers begin carrying on as if they were in their own livingrooms....

At Bay 101 where I play, there are a few dealers who can and will take some responsibility, but only a few. I don't like to get them involved though, because the jackasses are frequently the best tippers. The concept of the dealer running the game has failed utterly.
For the first six years of my casino card playing there was no house dealer, and the games generally ran smooth as silk. (There were those who said there was cheating going on, but if there was any cheating in the games I played in, they must have cheated someone else.)
The house needs to educate both the dealers and the players alike.
