Right, they curl to the side instead.

Though possibly not as much if you peel close to the adhesive.

Keep the adhesive at the top, peel from the side. The adhesive then directly counters any potential side-curl.

The advanced trick is to grab the post-it stack with one hand, and with the other grab the top post-it and apply force in parallel to the stack, from top to bottom of the post-it. This way the post-it remains uncurled.
