"Used to" refers to something regular or something that repeatedly happened in the past:
"I'm used to getting up early for work"
"We used to go out more."
"Use to" typically occurs with did:
"Did you use to work there?"
"It didn't use to be like that."
"Use to" describes something in the past that doesn't happen anymore.

Didn’t she use to work there?
Did the store use to be here?
Used to
If “did” or “didn’t” is not in the sentence:

@-bjr485op Yup, both are used in daily conversation.
I often say things like
"When I use to go to school..."
"I stay up late all the time so I'm used to it"
