For example: if a teacher marks a students work down just because they don't like the student. Or if a McDonald's worker only fills your coffee cup half way because they remember the last time when you complained about your chips being cold.
I'm not even sure there is a word for the way that person is behaving – 'Stop being so _____?'.
I want to say jealous/revenge/karma/awkward/mean but those words just don't seem to fit. Thank you for your help.

...because they remember the last time...
out of grudge
EDIT: As JR points out, 'out of grudge' isn't a very common phrase. (A paltry 1500 hits on Google books)
... just because they don't like the student...
out of spite
