should you just shut it and say yes right away to place B or what?

The only thing I would consider is how long you've been looking for a job, and how likely you feel you are to get a chance at a better job in the future.
For instance, if that scenario came up after 9 months being unemployed, I'd take the job immediately.
If however, you've only been looking for a week or two, either don't take the job, or try to play for a bit of time, and use that time to contact company A and accelerate their decision.
Also, even if you do take Company B's job, you can always pull out in the first week or two and take company A's job when it's offered. Company B might be a little pissed off, but what does it matter now that you have a job with A?
