I don't think that the "shops" will discover this at all.

They are large national chains. They know that the footfall on the upper
floor of a railway station will be a fraction of the concourse level and
will only agree to the appropriate rent in the first place.

Also, doesn't exactly the same setup already exist at Liverpool St and
Victoria?
Surely NR aren't exactly breaking new ground here, it's a tried and
tested idea?

At Vic and LS there is road level access into the shopping area and many
people on their way to/from their only train of the day walk past.

There wont be to an upper floor at Waterloo and only people interchanging
between Main and East will be on that level, and even then they wont need to
walk past these shops
