I'll grant you, from where Abby's sitting, and from the framing of, well, the whole situation, it's very very hard not to fall into the trap of "clearly it's on your head to change these men's behavior." But still, she could have more thoroughly explored the idea of talking with the manager, and then followed up with a general, "yanno, this whole place where we put service employees where society expects them not just to be friendly but to suggest that they're sexually available SUCKS, and yeah, there may not be much you can do right there in your position, but let's start talking about this and making noise and maybe we can change something. And most of all, it's not about you, it's about those guys, so they need to listen in here."
