Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- Japanese
For instance,
someone says ごちそうさまでした。Thank you for the meal (it was a great mea)
The person who cooked the meal would say. お粗末さまでした。You are welcome.
祖末 means something trivial or boring.
So お粗末さまでした literally means "I served something trivial or boring".
It is a self-abasement way of saying "You are welcome".

Yep. For eating meals situation.
ごちそうさまでした。
The server will say お粗末さまでした。
Thank you. But my meals weren't so good. I'm sorry.
It has a modest nuance.
Another situation.
Someone played the magic, after that, this magician will say with bowing.
お粗末さまでした。
However, recently other than elderly people, we don't use this sentence.
