However, if they both offer you a job, just tell shop one and say that you've been offered a better job elsewhere. Simple as that. If you feel sympathetic about it and Shop Two turns out bad, shop one could possibly give you another chance.

I don't think this could have been said any better. Just because you land an interview with two places doesn't mean that you've secured two jobs, or any at all for that matter. Take both interviews. If for some reason they both accept you, outline the pros and cons for both jobs. When you find the job that you think you'd like better, tell the other employer that you have indeed found a better job and that you are thankful for the opportunity. This is crucial, for the simple reason that if something happens to where you are no longer able to work at your first choice, you can always reapply for a job with the other employer. If they see that you were diplomatic and appreciative of their time, they're more likely to give you a second chance.

Like I said, Wiizzz said it best, but I felt the need to elaborate. Hope this helps. ;)
