    Shit’s different in different countries but for most you only use usted when in English you might consider calling them Mr/Mrs/Ms or Sir/Ma’am

    My native spanish speaking friends have always told me if you have to ask, use tu. And more importantly, unless you’re speaking with the king of spain, don’t use usted because it makes you look like a jackass lol. I already know it’s different region to region, but that just means that the safe bet is basically always “tu” if you don’t know
