Kind of an "Oh man, you'll like this...Bumped into so and so and since you got me all trained, he offered me a $16 an hour internship position. Can you believe that guy?" You did apply to work for both when you got your current job didn't you? And your current boss is the one that hired you when the other one wouldn't. You want to leave your boss with the idea that he now has something that his nemesis wants not the idea that you are looking to go to the other side. If you come across correctly it should make you look more loyal than if you don't tell him and he finds out anyway.

Hadnt applied at the other pharmacy when I got my current job. I had only been looking for jobs in Weatherford(nonexistent). My current boss found out I was looking and offered me a job.
This other offer came from one of dads customers. Dad mentioned that I was working in a pharmacy and my boss was taking his sweet time getting my tech permit. Hence the offer to go to work at the other place, and they just happen to pay more.
