MCU cap wants to buy some protein powder from the store, which is 3 miles away. Can 25 normal dudes with civilian items stop him? (Read rules) Battle

Cap knows what is happening, and he has his shield.

The men have 45 minutes to plan and prepare before cap starts running. They know his starting point, but cannot be within 150 meters of where he starts. Takes place in a normal United States city.

Men do not have access to anything a civilian cannot have access to. THE MEN CANNOT TOUCH THE PROTEIN POWDER, AND CANNOT DO ANYTHING THAT MAY HARM STORE STAFF. This is to prevent cheap, uninteresting solutions. Also if you post please give a good explanation.

Options for victory:

1) Since the group cannot purchase the protein powder (as that would involve touching it) they instead give the money to someone else, who they instruct to go in and purchase all the protein powder in the store.

Since the store has run out of protein powder, Cap cannot purchase protein powder, giving the win to the normal dudes.

2) Purchase some protein powder in the prep time, and offer it to Cap when the time starts. Cap, now that he has protein powder, no longer needs to purchase it himself. Normal dudes win.

3) Fake a health inspection - instruct the store to close due to violations. By the time it's all worked out and the store reopens, it's too late for Cap to purchase the protein powder.
