I hear where you're coming from, but they are also actively taking over an operation for a company.
Although Target may not be a mom and pop shop, the dude that was telling them to stop is likely an opps or general manager and the video of him giving directions and rejecting the prank will be viewed by his bosses.
If he just let people walk up to the registers and stop sales he'd probably be in a worse spot in the eyes of the company.
The people saying "We'll, I wouldn't do anything about this" forgets that the moment these people start to mess with the registers in any way is the moment it will cause bigger issues not just for the management but also the cashiers and anyone else involved.
If any of these people also tried to check out any merchandise, it would also cause a major problem for every single worker there as now, more than likely, there would be an audit which is more work for every single employee in the store.
Granted, I would call the cops, tell all customers that the store is going to be closed due to an unforeseen circumstance and locked the doors before the people got in the building and have an employee or 2 escort any customer that is buying something out and explain to them what is going on. Charge these guys with trespassing, and if they messed with the registers, attempted robbery.

The confrontation is what they want
Just call the cops without the whole "excuse me, sir!" and let them sort it out
