And likely annoyed some employees and got in the way of some shoppers in the process. He possibly distracted some employees from their duties. Some merchandise may have been broken, resulting in extra paperwork to be done. Why even risk making someone's life more difficult than it already might be?
I think this is the point. When doing something, we should be thinking "how can others be affected by what I am doing?" If it is a negative affect, then being responsible and altering our actions should be the outcome.

He did state that. He also specifically mentions was he did not pay for anything as he stayed in character and people feel sorry for him. That implicitly assumes there was stuff to pay for. He also explicitly states that he stayed in character. This is slightly inconsistent. Keith Apicary is too clumsy to remake a store display properly!
Also, how the heck can he (even as Nathan) remake e.g. the Bra display at 0:44 without mixing up sizes etc. before the employees get there to sort it out? Maybe he is a connoisseur of Bra displays and knows how to set one up properly
edit* to clarify, I'm not trying to bait you at all. I just think it's a funny clip that others will also enjoy.
I don't think negatively of it, I'm not making a value judgement on what I'm calling sadism. I believe most people find that kind of stuff funny, looking at programs like "America's Funniest Home Videos" and equivalents in other countries.
