Is it possible to be anonymous when buying bitcoins at a Western Union?

I saw a post about the easiest way to buy bitcoins and someone mentioned K-mart and Western Union. Is it possible to buy coins from a location like that via pre-paid CC or cash?

Security cams.

Not only security cameras, but the paper that Western Union supplies for the form you fill out is specifically designed to capture fingerprints. Western Union is about as anonymous as a Localbitcoins purchase, only less so because your face is on camera and your fingerprints are all over their paperwork. So in other words, not anonymous at all.

Doesn't western union comply with AML?

Sure, just wear a Guy Fawkes mask.

Seriously, the most anonymous way I've been able to come up with is cash deposit at Bank of America or Wells Fargo. Use the drive through if you're too high to deal with people face to face.
