ああ、それは困りましたね。お店の者呼びましょうか？
ああ、それはこまりましたね。おみせのものよびましょうか？

Gesture & etiquette
Point to the vending machine and make a 'stuck' motion with your hand, or show the receipt/money if applicable.
Try to get the attention of staff from a nearby shop or a passerby. Don't try to force the machine or get angry.
