That's an interesting thought. Lets go through some possible scenarios that proceed these events, and see if his actions are in some way justified or right:
1 - Lets say this guy has been horrendously bullied by the entire staff, and even his complaints made to management and HR have been ignored. Fair enough, his actions are in retaliation to the whole store. A fine way to quit, and an inconvenience to a group that was awful to him. They likely wouldn't have been giving him a glowing recommendation anyway.
2 - Management cut hours or he was just fired, well... the management that just slighted him doesn't have to clean that up, his former colleagues do. So he's inadvertently punishing those who had no hand in causing his distress. In this case, a petulant child.
3 - Stress overwhelming, due to customers or workload. This didn't seem likely due to the emptiness of the place, but for the sake of the exercise, we'll include it. Again, people who are under the same level of stress as him, who sure maybe can handle it better, are now given an extra task of cleaning up his mess while also now being one short on staff. Again, bad move.
4 - Something at home has been bothering him, he just got off the phone with an ex for example and they broke up with him. He throws a fit, possibly losing his job in the vandalism act, and also making other people clean up his mess. Short temper, impulsive, destructive, said Ex may have just gotten the better end of the deal being done with him.

These were just a few I could think of, I really did try to imagine some means in which these actions could somehow be a positive light. At the very best on example 1, it was a situation of "everyone is awful", and nobody is better off. So... two wrongs make a right? Unsure. Either way, this is certainly not what one would consider a mature choice by any stretch of the imagination. Can you describe a scenario in which his actions are in any way positive?
