Offsides

It's happened more than once.  I ask for something "on the side" in a restaurant and they don't give it to me at all.  As if "on the side" means I don't want it.  Sometimes there'll even be a bunch of things that come with a sandwich and I'll say I don't want certain items while I want others on the side--and they'll interpret these two desires as the same thing.

Did I miss something?  Did "on the side" change its meaning while I wasn't paying attention?

Stop gumming up the works and get with the program and order simply. These waitstaff were probably educated in American schools and can't handle advanced concepts

In the words of Billy Crystal's character in "When Harry Met Sally", on the side is very high maintenance.
