I've run across this policy in many stores over the years. Smart'n'Final is the same way.

i know gordons foods here in michigan has had that policy for awhile now...i just use a buddys restaurant for mine(he knows about it to) for coke stuff.

pepsi unfortunatley doesnt sell it to sam, gfs, or anywhere else where it may be resold. they want you to have an account with them for these things so they can rape you. fortunately i have friend whose brother works for pepsi and we can get bags for @$60 with a good wk or more advance warning. he actually had a couple accounts close out this month and we bought the extra bags back from the stores (8 bib for 200) every one was more than half full still most were just barely used so good deal for us.

Like I mentioned, I have been buying my bibs there before. Have you folks tried recently and been turned down? I don't know any places in my area with syrup. They are mostly bottles.
Places like Burger King and Papa Ginos are here but they are chains and I am sure they won't sell to me.

do you have a breakfast or lunch cafe that you frequent? you might be able to get them to sell you some if you know the owner, thats how i started and swapped in some beer/wine to him also.

That depends if your vending a non carbonated product or not.
I happend to choose 2 non carb flavors. Nestea Raspberry Ice Tea and MinuteMaid Lemonade Lite.
In theory, yes, you could just mix these flavors with water, but getting the mixture right is the concern.
My machine looks like this: http://www.bobizan.com/coke/Large%20sized/100_0655.JPG
I am only running these 2 flavors, (now back on topic) but I am not sure what to do when I run out.

most people use a postmix dispenser system, but you can also mix the syrup with water in a corny keg and force carbonate it the way the pepsi and coke distributors used to do (they called it premix, up until recently pepsi still offered premix, coke discontinued it years ago... fwiw this is why ball lock kegs are still plentiful)

when i've done it, i've used 15 quarts water, 3 quarts syrup for 5:1 brix, 18 quarts of soda. diet syrup is different, usually mixes at 5.5:1 brix so it would be 16.5 quarts water, 3 quarts syrup for 19.5 quarts of soda.
