Question about asking for a raise

So I’m 21 and trying to save up enough to move my girlfriend and myself out of her house and I’m making $16.50 (I’ve been in the $20’s at other jobs) but I’m working for a temp agency and about to get hired on and thru the grape vine I’ve heard that they give a tiny bump upon hire but won’t negotiate more, their words were “if you don’t like the amount there’s the door” and I felt like I was in a comfortable position to ask for $18-$20 upon hire (as it’s a struggle just to save a decent amount of money every month) but now I feel like it’s a risky play as they could just tell me to walk… what do I do?
