Yes. Your job description isn't a legal contract...and usually the last one is "other duties as assigned".

To a degree.
For example, let's say you work at Wal-Mart and your job description is "Cash Register Dude - Duties include working at cash register, making change, printing receipts, letting people return stuff, and other cash-register duties."
If they asked you to also, at the end of every day, take a damp cloth and clean your cash register, that's fine. It's normally a janitor's job, but really, it's pretty close, and not worth whining about.
If, however, they asked you to, at the end of every day, mop the floor of the entire Wal-Mart, then you could complain to them, because that's WAY out of your job description .
Just use your own brain.

Companies always cover their rear ends with a provision that they can assign you any duties in support of company goals, or something open-ended like that. If they forced you to beat and rob customers you could probably win a judgment against them. In general, business interests run this country and they can do most anything they like when it comes to employees. People who approve of that situation will tell you you can't be forced to do anything, you can just leave your job.

Not if it is illegal, but otherwise yes, don't like it quit.
