I am talking about the normal flow of the cards and hands.  I am not referring to when there is huge/table wagering and table max wagers with players that have been playing the same table for hours.

I am talking about when a few players have been at the table for a shoe or a few shoes.  A couple of young kids sit down and throw in a quarter or two or even a hundred.  The players already there are wagering on the Players side and return say a 4.  The kids return a 5 on the Banker.  Then the kids yell for the players to flip a monkey or something to lose. 

No class.  None.  I can remember just a few years ago this would never happen in AC, CT or Vegas.  Seems like it might be a Midwest thing as I know it does not happen in the high limit pits in Vegas.

Likewise, I remember very clear if anyone was on the other side we would never say anything derogatory or verbally wishing for them to pull a losing card on their side.  Of course, if numerous players were wagering serious money and one person was at table min on the opposite side, we would hold up a couple of chips to pay them if they lost, etc. 

But I have definitely noticed the 'no class' thing here in the Midwest.

Fully agree, in the VIP rooms "card calling" is frowned upon,  I used to fold cards into little squares and throw them in the air if I had a natural, one player walked away from the table when I did that.  It's not nice you live and learn, I will call cards if the table is betting on the same side, or if other players are calling against you.   Places I play you have to contend with the pit staff and dealer card calling, you can accept other players card calling to protect their money, but it annoys the f*** out of me when staff do it, resulting in many an argument when you pull the cocks up.

Absolutely!  Dealers make or break the game.  IMO and IMO only and that of many people I used to play with every weekend in Atlantic City and monthly in Vegas in the larger rooms for years.

Where I play now locally the dealers are dealing mini, the newer dealers will call the numbers as they flip them.  The older dealers (more experienced that is) will not generally call them, just flip them and if everyone is one one side and it is a winning card--they put some motion and smiles into it, if not and the larger players are going to lose, they get kind of impartial and quiet.  Which is nice. 

But the dealers who religiously call the numbers need to stop, there is no need for it, IMO.

As far as my O.P. point, someone coming up to the table and yelling and screaming for another to pull over a losing card on their wagers is not right, nothing about it.  I have been the largest or larger player wagering by myself or with others at many a table, and if there is anyone on the other side we will never ever ask them to pull a losing card, never. 

Now, when it is Midi/Macau style and we are on a side say with several thousand dollars of wagers and there is another play, usually a sole player with say $25 or $50 on a side and we have say 5 on the Banker and he has say 3 or 4 or something on the Player, I will pick up $25 or $50 and hold it up and tell him, if you give us a Monkey you can't lose, etc., etc.  But I detest the players that will scream for the larger players (or any other player) to pull a losing card. It's just so un-cool and insulting.

When there are several players wagering on one side, no problem with yelling or screaming for a winning card, etc., but just not at the opposite side to lose.  Their money/wager is important to them I am sure. 

I never observed Poker too much but I am fairly confident it would not go over big if you call out bad cards or bad luck slogans when players are wagering???  Or perhaps in blackjack, calling for another player to get a bust card so you won't, etc.  But it seems to be happening at baccarat more and more from what I observe.

The high limit rooms I have played you really don't see it, if the lower wagering players are yelling for a card, etc., they won't direct it at you or the opposite side to lose, etc.  The Gold Coast and the Plaza Station where the bulk of the Asian's are and the tables have the most players by far, you might see some of it, but then again, those are not high limit rooms, etc.
