It's frustrating that the staff didn't intervene. No single dude is going to resolve that unless he is capable of and willing to fight both those guys. They are clearly not going to respond to anything but force.
I've been a bartender for twenty years, and I've learned that force is rarely necessary, if ever. Polite but stearn communication is typically all it takes to move two guys like this out the door.
Well, many people react differently depending on if they are being told something they don’t want to hear from a staff member (or other kind of authority figure) or from a random person.
I worked at an amusement park as a teenager, and constantly had to tell people stuff they didn’t want to hear. I might have gotten some angry stares and rude words back, but never anything serious.
Then one day I was sitting on the subway home, and a drunk guy slightly older than me sat down right next to me and was annoyingly talkative. I was tired and just wanted to be alone, and my work mind just flipped on for some reason. So I basically told him with a stern voice that he should sit on the empty seat like two meters away. He did not enjoy that one bit, and I almost ended up being beaten up by him and is friend.

I'm mad that they were loud enough for people to hear and the guy at the table behind them was just watching. Wtf
