Answer 1 :
Was it in your job description?
Answer 2 :
Yes. If you're asked to do something at work, you're supposed to do it. If you don't want to, find a different job.
Answer 3 :
In almost every state, unless you have a (union) contract to the contrary, you can be fired for no reason at all, let alone refusing to do what you're told, to the best of your ability.
Answer 4 :
Yes. Someone has to clean it up. You are a prima donna. Expect many more firings.
Answer 5 :
There is no such thing as a 'just' reason to be fired. They can fire you for no reason at all, refusing to do your job is actually a very good reason. There is no law that bars minors from cleaning urine. Do you think you are too good for the job, but it's okay for others to have to do it? How's that working for you?
Answer 6 :
FLSA (federal labor laws) prohibit dangerous jobs for minors. That is not dangerous, otherwise you could not have babysitters. So yes, you disobeyed a direct order.
