That's trespassing and a good way to get arrested.

It's not trespassing until the business tells him he's no longer welcome on their property.
You can't just have people arrested for being d-bags on your property until you've asked them in writing to stay off your property.
That's where you're wrong. It IS in writing and posted at the door.
All major retailers will have a customer code of condut policy which will state (a variation of) "customers are welcome to enter our store for the purposes or shopping and/or price comparison. Prohibited activities include
but aren't limited to: photography, gathering market data for a third party, campaining, distribution of literature, protesting and fundraising. Persons discovered to be engaging in these activities will be asked to leave and the authorities will be notified as nessasary."
Impersonation of an employee quite easily fits into suspicion of corporate espionage and the above mentioned gathering of market data.
"Lol bro, just a joke," is a poor excuse and will very likely get you escorted from the building in cuffs.
Well, if you just „accidentally“ wear khakis and something resembling a red shirt, customers will ask shit anyways and you can reply whatever you want...

But that's not what trespassing is.
If you don't want a person on your property, you obtain a legal notice called a trespass and ban them from private property. Like a restraining order. Trespassing laws vary by state, and are enforced in different ways in every situation. For example, in California, you are allowed to hold protests and gatherings in grocery store parking lots and you cannot be trespassed if you are not committing any other kind of crime (like violence or theft).
.
Target can ask the red shirt kid to leave, but the police won't cuff him if he isn't breaking some other law or violating a personal trespass notice.
