A system for a point of sale transaction within a retail facility includes an aerial drone having a barcode scanner and printer capabilities, an onsite transaction application that can run on a handheld smart device, and a server/cloud transaction system that can act as a transaction system and an anti-theft system. A shopper can summon the aerial drone for a sales transaction or return, and using the drone scanner, list the items that are present in their shopping cart, which generates a physical or electronic listing of the items to be purchased or returned. The list can be presented to a clerk for payment, or the customer can present a debit/credit card at a kiosk portal to pay for their items electronically. The list is also transmitted to the cloud/sever as a record and used to manage inventory. The shopper has an assigned or preassigned identifier for use by the transaction system, e.g. the anti-theft system.
