Regarding Kellnerin’s sentence in the pdf, she has “und der Cocktail Hawaii war für dich” as Formal, and “und der Cocktail Hawaii war für Sie” as Informal, is this correct?

Danke

It’s very easy ! Bad service means no tip !
How do things stand in Germany ? Are waiters paid fixed wages, and service included in the price of food and drinks, or do they only get paid by tips ? And how much are you supposed to tip ?
