In English, we do not make the distinction between informal and formal "you". Also when speaking to one person (and not using that person's name) we use the same "you" as we would if speaking to a group of people. It is more common now for wait/service staff in restaurants to greet people at a table needing service to say "hi guys" - drives me crazy. This happens even when everyone at the table is a female.

So, roughly speaking, to the boss and bum you'll turn "you"?

You can say "you" to your parents, teachers, boss, or even the leader of your country. There are some people that you refer to differently, though:
King/Queen/Emperor/Empress: Your Majesty/Your Highness
Judge (in a court): Your Honour
Those are the only ones that I can think of.

Gareth, is absolutely correct. I would add to the list: the president of the US who would be addressed as "Mr. President". I'm sure there are others but when speaking to the average person in English we do not have a formal and informal "you" nor do we have a singular and plural "you".
