No one should yell at you in front of your customers. If they have an issue with you it should be brought up in private. I would talk to them and let them know it is unacceptable and if that doesn't work, I would inform management. And I am editing your title as it is irrelevant.

This can be considered harassment and if speaking to them does not help, then Ana is right - you need to speak to someone in management. You have the right to work in an non-hostile work environment. Use the words "harassment" and "hostile work environment" if you have to.

Yep, I'm with everyone else. Speak up now first to the people bothering you. Be nice but tell them it's upsetting. If they don't respond nicely with an apology or say they will do better, then go to management with what is going on and what they said to you when you tried to settle it 'amongst yourselves'. If you have another co-worker who is willing, have them there when you talk to your bothersome people so you will have a 'witness' to what was said.
I was in this position years ago with a fellow teacher who went out of his way to be mean to me, making terrible comments about me in front of others. I finally asked him if he was kidding about all the unkind remarks and he said, "No, you are a horrible person and a terrible teacher, you should be fired." Happily this was in front of other teachers who could vouch for what happened. So I said, "If you really feel that way, I think we should both go talk to our Principal and get this straightened out."
So we both marched into the office, I told the Principal that this guy was bothering me. The Principal asked him is that was true about what I said, and the guy said yes it was. Happily, the Principal told the guy to leave me alone, I was one of his best teachers and he didn't want to hear anymore more about it. I found out later, the guy was DRUNK that day and although it didn't make it any easier, at least I knew why he was being so strange.
Hope your problem with your co-workers works out well. It's usually best to nicely ask the offender why they are bothering you and make sure it's not just a joke or that they aren't having personal problems and taking it out on you. Sometimes people think that they are being funny and don't realize it's hurtful to you. You have to let them know you are offended.
Good luck.
