Anyone Else do “Practice Interviews” with no Intention of Accepting an Offer?

I applied to an assload of jobs to see what would stick, and I got an offer for an interview. It’s somewhere offering less than what I make at worst, about the same at best. Plus some other drawbacks. But I plan on going to the interview just because it’s been a minute since I’ve done a job interview. Sort of like a refresher. Part of me feels scummy, but I also know I have better options out there. I even had another recruiter hit me up with a solid offer out of the blue (without applying). Anyway, I plan on using this practice for the real thing. Anyone else done the same? I’ll be civil about it, obviously. I won’t just be like, “see ya, losers,” and walk out. But I already know I don’t want it.
