Can Someone Please Explain Vending Machines?
The food vending machine from Get to Work and the pet treats vending machines from Cats & Dogs are really cool ideas, but I'm having great difficulty with them. I can't figure out how to get food ...

Nope. The only pre-stocked pet treat vending machine is in the Maxis vet as long as you don't own it. Once you own the lot the vending machine becomes empty.
Actually, the pre-stocked vending machines are only found in the vet clinics as these treats are meant for making pets ill, well, age up and down and to resurrect dead pets. If you own the pre-made vet clinic, it is empty. If nobody owns the vet clinic and you have your sim buy a treat there, all the treats are there and you can buy as many as you like.

I can't figure out how to get food from the GtW one. I click "Buy Snack" and the pastry and premade meal options are grayed out. When I hover over them it says "No available fridge". Then when I add a fridge, there is still no option to get them. Do they only work on bakery retail lots along with the warming rack and ice box?
The pet treats machine is more of a complaint than an issue. I understand that vets must make treats and stock the machines. However, this is really dumb because, what if we want to buy treats for our pets from like a "dog park" lot? I think there is a "give treat" option in the social menu, but still, it would be nice to be able to purchase them from the machine any time.
Does the lot have any microwave? These two things you can't choose require the microwawe instead, not fridge. I'll have to test it out and see if it says fridge for me.
Edit. Now it said it needs a microwave and a fridge. Putting the microwave didn't help at all. It still requires a fridge, even through there is one on the lot and it doesn't usually need one. Maybe this was made so it cannot be used outside of the workplaces. Or maybe you should move this under the category as I do see it as a glitch.
